- r***l (96)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéArrived 5 days after order, although it was still listed as "awaiting dispatch" until long after it had been delivered (the email telling me it was being dispatched arrived 9 days after the book). Well packaged and as described. Excellent book at a decent price.
- n***i (78)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéDespite Ebay update status still saying that the book is Awaiting Dispatch... It is actually with me. There seemed likely that there may have been a 5 business day wait prior to dispatch but a quick email to the seller outlined the situation. Overall a good experience. Book of excellent quality and of a reasonable price. Well protected for posting. Seemed to be delivered by Amazon? Would recommend this seller.
- 0***5 (1178)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéReceived the book, bit confusing, stating 3-5days delivery, then stating a later date at end of July mid August, messaged seller but no reply, book came today. Won't buy from this business again, thank goodness the book came, cost over £70....
