Book finder listed the book as Book price $4.00 Shipping cost $4.49.
Alibris Charged "Item Total" as "$4.43" Shipping cost "$4.49" Est. Tax "$.59" It was impossible to correct the discrepancy between "Book Price" and "Item Total." To even get "$4.43" as a item price was difficult. Other higher prices had shown up well beyond the original $4.00 seen on Bookfinder.
What is going on here?
I am worried at this point of hackings and hackers...not trusting online purchasing with every passing day.
Especially with this experience.
The price was low, the item was in good shape, and you were not Amazon nor its affiliates.
