I contacted the selle b/ they sent the correct book but whose condition was a little less than described. They communicated with me immediately. They apologized, gave me a full refund without my asking. I fully look forward to purchasing from them again. It provides revenue to fund local job training, education, and community programs that help people find employment and achieve financial stability. Thank you!
- 1***2 (5)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI’m very satisfied with my purchase. Although it did arrive a few days late, it was definitely worth $18 for a densely packed, 1000 paged textbook with lots and lots of questions to reinforce your understanding. In terms of the seller and the condition of the book, the seller was very truthful in their description, and marked the book as “acceptable”. I’ve only explored a fraction of the book, and as far as I’m concerned, the majority is “good”. I’m very happy, it looks great, great quality.Fundamentals of Physics Extended (Nr. 286648984516)

Shipping was reasonably priced and arrived in timely manner. Excellent communication and customer service throughout the process. Buy with confidence. Highly recommended.
