- n***b (60)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseSeller was fantastic. I bought 2 magazines on Dec. 30 that had a code in them to access patterns. I had to submit the code to the publisher by the next day, Dec. 31 or forfeit the ability to download the patterns. Since I would not physically receive the magazines in time, I asked could they message me the code. Sure enough, I received a message from the seller with a picture of the code. I am so pleased with this seller. They went above and beyond their duty to sell an item. Outstanding seller!Classic Sewing Magazine - Autumn 2018- Pattern Envelope Included (#387774108502)
