- i***s (631)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFast shipping to Hawaii. Professionally packaged. Quality better than advertised. Price was very reasonable relative to the value of the item. There was a bit of a mix-up on shipping method & price. Seller dealt with the issue in a fast & friendly manner. Highly recommend this seller!
- 7***s (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseJust received the book I ordered – way ahead of estimated delivery time – in a perfectly brand new and undamaged condition (as described). It was also shrink-wrapped, which was a nice surprise, but I would've appreciated it more if it'd also arrived in a box rather than a bag (as I live in a whole other continent), but it didn't sustain any damage, so it's all right. Great seller; highly recommended; will definitely shop from again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheers.
- t***r (172)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was as described, nicely packaged. I'm disappointed that I paid extra for USPS Priority Mail as offered by the seller, but it was shipped Ground Advantage. I still got it in time to deliver as a present so there's that. I would buy from this seller again but I would not pay the hefty upcharge for quicker shipping. AA
