- -***t (1115)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI would highly recommend this seller to anyone that would listen. High quality product with very low prices. Quicker than quick shipping. Great comment skills, always responded within hours not days. I truly plan on purchasing from this awesome seller very often. DVD came packaged very securely, nice packaging, with great care taken. The dvd though previously owned, you'd not know it as it's appeared to be brand now. Absolutely fabulous seller can't say enough to recommend to everyone.Very Good Julia Roberts 4-Movie Spotlight Series [DVD] (#326404744475)
- c***c (268)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseShipping made an excellent time, books were the books I ordered. Value was good for what I ordered. Big problem with the packaging, however, there was too much space in the box which led to the spine being completely torn off one of the books and two others losing spine integrity by books that got wedged between their pages. Great seller but each book needs to be individually wrapped in, at the least, Seran wrap to limit damage of this nature.RARE Lot of 9 all 1800s VINTAGE ANTIQUE BOOKS with decorative bindings HC (#326396420626)
- d***r (995)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseA great value for a quality book in excellent condition. It has the appearance of a lightly used book. It is exactly as described and pictured. The book was protected by quality packing, creating the appearance that this vendor cared about their merchandise and the customer. Packed carefully and shipped immediately.Good Dragon Lady: A History of the 1960 U-2 Spying Incident Mason, Fergus (#326212626288)
