What Are Our Customers Saying?

“I have nothing but high praise for Gumdrop! My experience working with Chris was extremely pleasant and easy - he is very professional, personable, easy to contact, and knowledgeable. Shipping was also very prompt. I truly appreciate Gumdrop going above and beyond to ensure that their clients needs are met - and it was such a lovely surprise to receive a holiday gift and card. I will definitely continue to work with Gumdrop.”

“Gumdrop always provides such excellent, timely & accurate service! In a day & age when it is so difficult to get new books on our shelves, you surpass expectations & deliver books much faster than expected and with much better fill rates than competitors. It’s hard to beat the service you provide!”

Kelly Strunk
Gretna Middle School
“I have always had a great experience with Gumdrop Books. I have had the pleasure of working with three different reps over a span of over 15 years. My reps have always been excellent! My favorite thing about Gumdrop Books is that I am able to look at a book in each series before purchasing. I like to be able to look at the font size, type of binding, and illustrations.”

“I have made purchases from Gumdrop every year since 2012. My experience with your company, product, and my sales representative, David, has always been a positive one. I look forward every year to our sit-down visit in the fall. Also, if I have any problems, which are few and far between, David is easily accessible and the problem is solved in a timely manner.”

Ashley Barker

“Eddie and Karen are wonderful. They are by far the best sales representatives I have ever worked with. I never have to worry about the content of the books because Eddie and Karen have previewed each one. They are a librarian’s dream come true. I am so thankful for them.”

“Chuck and Melanie do a wonderful job of remembering our collection and keeping track of the series that we have been purchasing and introducing us to series that they think that our demographic would be interested in.”

Leslie MacGregor
GEP Dodge Library
“Gumdrop has by and large been the best of all the vendors I've tried working with the last year! The customer service alone has been great-both in speed and friendliness. My order also arrived at the same time as another order I placed months before with another vendor. I'm incredibly happy with my Gumdrop experience and plan on shifting even more of my budget over to you in the future!”

Serena Waldron
Fitzhugh Park Elementary School
“The books we order from Gumdrop are accessible to a broad audience but still substantial and informative. This is especially important to us most of our patrons are adults, but many are not fluent readers.”

Lisa Justis

“Thank you for spending the time to come to my library! Your company is one of the few remaining that will actually come to our school so that I am able to see the books and look through them!”
