Seller Feedback (4,053)
- i***- (34)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseProduct just as described; seller shipped SUPER fast (even overseas AND dealing with the tariff BS - I thought for sure that was going to mean even further delays). There was a small ding on the back cover, but it's got a plastic sleeve protecting it so it's all good. Great communication from seller, they are definitely top-notch!
- m***s (818)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat set, very well packed. The only issue was entirely down to the appalling Parcelforce who failed to deliver it 5 times despite us being at home. (They also failed to provide the card Parcelfarce claim they did) We had to collect it ourselves from the depot. Not the vendor's fault at all; she also despatched it very promptly and communicated well.Reply from: the_gently_mad- Feedback replied to by seller the_gently_mad.- Feedback replied to by seller the_gently_mad.Thanks for the feedback! We choose Parcelforce as they are generally more reliable than companies like Evri etc so it was disappointing to hear of your experience. But very glad you recieved the books!
