The book wasn't packaged very well and slid around causing the book to rip the package and almost slid out. Thank goodness the book and its cover was alright. Need a better package.

Unprompted review
Good place to get used books for cheap
Took 3 tries to get one order with all the correct editions of the Harry Potter series hard cover 1st editions used with the book covers
To make it sound less confusing I finally got placed with the last customer support agent who was able to send the right last 3 books and I have 6 books that will be donated.
Definitely saved me half the price if not alot more for the entire series 1st edition new so I will most likely be coming back for other complete series as I am on disibility and can't afford brand new box sets.
If you order used books be mindful it might take a few times to get the right edition with the cover

The book "Instant Relief for Sciatica Pain" didn't have pix of people doing the exercises. What rip off. The other book did but it was cheap looking, Just like the other one.

Disappointed
I have ordered many times and never an issue. This last order was the first time I’ve been disappointed & felt lied to about the condition. The book said good condition and the first 5-6 pages had water damage & mold. It also had a page ripped out. There’s no way this book was in good condition but that what was claimed. I’m disappointed because I can’t even give this to the person I bought it for because I’m ashamed of the condition.
