- 2***4 (114)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseWOW!! What an amazing surprise....the packaging on this book was the best QUILITY ever...so secure and damage free packaging! LOVE this...Kudos to Seller! Book was better than described...like NEW. No damage at all...appears as no one ever read the book. Excellent appearance...very impressed. Seller's price was outstanding too...definitely will be shopping with this seller again. Transaction was easy and smooth, with extremely fast fast shipping. Seller is awesome...customer oriented A++++++
- e***e (1540)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI always research sellers before buying, and I noticed most of this seller’s negative feedback stems from not offering combined shipping...despite providing a clear and reasonable explanation in their listings. I purchased two $19.99 TPBs for just $12.70 total (only $1.00 each!), and considering eBay charges sellers fees on shipping too, I think the shipping costs were more than fair. That’s basically 70% off MSRP. The condition was accurate, and shipping was fast. Thanks again!
