Good price and free shipping made book great value. Happy purchase and very excited to start reading this quality book. No complaints with seller book came on scheduled time. Came in envelope without any packing chips but the book was able to stay in good shape.Kafka on the Shore by Murakami, Haruki [Paperback] (#186410457677)
- e***j (78)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSo I only gave them a 4 star for shipping because I ordered almost exactly the same product, from a seller in just about the same area, and they were more "on the ball". Shipping from this seller was very good mind you, but when competing with others, the more "dedicated" will usually win out. Next to that, the packaging was good and the item was priced better than at market. I'd still HIGHLY recommend this seller to other manga buyers!
- p***p (1107)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAs a first-time user of an air fryer, I needed some help with the logistics and helpful hints, plus recipes, and this cookbook FLEW to my door in just a few days, thank goodness. The seller was excellent with price, shipping, and quality of the item. It is brand new, but won't stay looking this good for long, as I have already used it, and you know how cookbooks get splatters, etc. Good thing this is a high-quality cookbook! Thank you to the seller!
