Seller feedback (5,444)
- r***n (55)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI gave a low rating on the shipping cost and the arrival time because it did take several days to get to me, so it was probably shipped as media mail, but the charges for shipment consisted with first class mail shipping cost. However, the book arrived in great condition. Seller went an extra mile by wrapping it in a cardboard cover to protect it while in transit. I would by from seller again.Reply from: farmermark- Feedback replied by seller farmermark.- Feedback replied by seller farmermark.You paid $4.47 for Media Mail as stated in the listing. First class mail does not exist any more as it has been changed to USPS Ground Advantage. Things take awhile to ship from via ground from Montana. Sorry, the speed of USPS is out of my control. Hope you enjoy the book.
