    A really quick, perfectly executed order from start to finish. This favorite childhood book was in good condition & just as described. Pricing was great, packaging was careful & tracking was provided. No sooner was the order placed than it showed up in my mailbox. All thumbs enthusiastically up for this great vendor! Much Appreciated!

    Very expensive and bad transportation. The company in Romania was execrable. They lied to me that they came to my house and that they left me a notice. You can't talk to or contact the transportation companies. After you pay a lot of money, you are simply at their mercy. You can't do anything. The seller O.K. Thank you very much !

    A smooth interaction. The product was just as described and packaged well. It arrived in record time. Unfortunately, I had guessed at the size and it didn’t fit the coffee maker, but the seller was very gracious in working with me to return it.
