- z***i (1159)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI recently purchased a book from this Seller, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. The book arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described. It was packaged in a sturdy, reusable cardboard envelope using no plastic at all. Delivery was surprisingly fast, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend this Seller!Wombat, the Reluctant Hero (#364491341296)
- 2***4 (99)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis by far is the most amazing packaging ever. What an awesome surprise....The book ordered was in EXCELLENT perfect condition...I have purchased new books from ebay but never has one arrived as advertised "NEW" and perfect like this one. Kudos to this seller....I am beyond impressed...certainly will be a returning customer. The price for the book was half the price of the same book from other sellers...and it was a good buy.These Tangled Threads (Biltmore) (#305994249122)
- e***j (1573)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy book arrived in perfect condition, with no marks, scratches or dings. As advertised, it is in "new condition." Very effectively packaged, to prevent damage. Only took a week to get here, which must be the new Postal Service standard. I find this to be a good place to buy books, especially at discount prices. Thank you very much.Devil's Battle (Artilleryman, Bk. 3) (#365381518814)
