“So far so good”

Caroline B.
9/25/24

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).

“If I put a one star rating (I won't bore you with the...”

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.

Again I have found the book I want at a good price and no excessive P&P. Thank you. Will order again.

Reason I chose this business:

I knew this book would be hard to find in UK but USA books do not show massive postal charges. Let's see if it is OK as I have ordered a book with very reasonable p&p.

Very quick, excellent item price, consider postage a bit disappointing but acceptable, and I already know the service is dependable. Therefore good experience.

Reason I chose this business:

I come to Alibris in order to avoid Amazon and Amazon-owned websites. You almost always have what I want at a price I like.

Books are shipped with incorrect shipping addresses. I end up tracking them!

Reason I chose this business:

Last time I was not so happy, but I thought that maybe your service has improved in the meantime and I should give your shop another chance.
