    I have purchased 4 manga (Kirby Manga Mania) on 31.8.2025. Till 10 of September nothing was shipped yet, so I have opened a money back request due to the fact I needed for a Birthday gift. 11 September the four manga arrived with a message of the seller that was sorry for the delay. The manga are new in excellent condition, very well packaged and looks very good. I’m happy to give 5 star as my issue was addressed quickly and effectively. Thank you. Also this seller has very competitive price.

    Returning buyer, trusted and recommended seller A+++++. Item dispatched in good time but delivery was very delayed and I suspect the courier lost or damaged the original untracked parcel, and what I received was a replacement the seller sent out tracked 48 hr delivery, which arrived in good condition and as described, and with good communication from courier.

    Most impressed with the customer service for this purchase. The original purchase was lost in transit, and Ryefield Books quickly sent out a replacement in a box and tracked postage to ensure this didn't repeat. The audiobook is exactly as described, new and well-packaged to arrive in perfect condition. I chose Ryefield Books because their price was most competitive. The customer care was a very welcome bonus.

  • The best crossword dictionary around

    This is the third time I have purchased this volume as previous volumes have been very well used. Full of information. If like me you avoid Internet crossword answer sites and love a good cryptic puzzle. This book is for you.
