- t***4 (72)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat overall experience. Book as described. Packaged well. Lower price shipping much appreciated! The delivery time took a while because of that but I prefer the lower price to speed. And seller checked with me to make sure I was happy with the purchase. Thank you!
- k***7 (32)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseProduct delivery was not accurate. My package sat at one facility for over 3 days without any further delivery details. After multiple emails to the seller who was at least trying to help me. I do understand once it leaves the seller they have no control over the situation of delivery. That is why I am giving the seller 5 Stars because it was not their fault or responsibility. I did receive my package in great condition and would buy from the seller again.
