“So far so good”

Caroline B.

So far so good. I am slightly concerned that the description of my order no longer includes the specific UPC code: *******79959. I specifically want this version and hope that this is what the seller HPB Movies will provide (as was listed).

9/14/24

If I put a one star rating (I won't bore you with the reasons) and your response is: 'Oh you can't possibly mean that - would you like to think again?' then you are just inviting an even more negative response. Try not to be so irritating.

Postal costs are creeping up thus making Alibris less attractive for buyers.
Be warned.

Reason I chose this business:

Best condition at best price
