I sent a message explaining what happened, received very quick response that was apologetic and requesting some additional info about the book I received. Sent that info and again very quick response. The book I wanted was not in stock, a full refund was issued, and I was allowed to keep the book I received!!πWarman's Weller Pottery: Identification and - paperback, Denise Rago, 0896894681 (#306268572075)

- g***a (81)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI received a different version of the item that was advertised - but am extremely happy to report that Clarissa responded quickly and, once it was confirmed, issued a refund without delay. I've ordered from this vendor in the past: wonderful high quality books, & have always enjoyed quick replies with helpful information, great prices and fast shipping. Mistakes happen. Rock solid customer service is RARE. Thank you, Clarissa for handling the discrepancy so well. I'll def buy from you again!Flor y Canto; Tercera EdiciΓ³n Words and Music- 9781579921583, hardcover, Various (#388314820808)
