This will show nearby bookshops that have the book in stock. Select your preferred bookshop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Bring When I Collect My Click & Collect Item?

Please bring your Click & Collect Order Number with you, either on a printed copy of your confirmation email or on your smartphone.

How Do I Pay For My Click & Collect Item?

You pay for your reserved item in the Waterstones bookshop when you collect it. The price paid is the price advertised online when the Click & Collect reservation was made.

What Happens If the Price is Cheaper in the Waterstones Shop I Am Collecting From?

You will always pay the lower price.

More often this will be the one on Waterstones.com, but if the shop you are collecting from has the item at a lower price, then that is what you will pay.

Can I Use Online Voucher Codes When Paying For a Click & Collect Item?

No - to take advantage of any online voucher codes, items must be ordered and paid for on Waterstones.com.

Do I Earn Points on Click & Collect Purchases?

Yes. Waterstones Card points can be earned in the same way as usual in line with the Terms and Conditions of the Waterstones Card scheme. Please be aware that if an item is in an online-only points offer, these will not be applied to your Click & Collect order.

Can I Reserve More Than One Copy of a Book Using Click & Collect?

If you would like more than one copy of a book, you will need to place a reservation for every copy required.

Due to the popularity of many books and the number of copies that may be available at any one time, we recommend you either order online or speak to the shop directly if you need more than a couple of copies of any one item.

Is Click & Collect Available in All Waterstones Bookshops?

Click & Collect is available in UK stores, including campus branches.

Unfortunately it is not currently available in our European shops, though we hope to extend it at a later date.
