I ordered books a week ago and half my order is still sitting in another state- hasn’t even left the city it was received at. DHL really moves slow. USPS shipment came within a reasonable time frame. One of my books that came was marked good when It should have been marked acceptable at the highest- because of page folds, dirt and food smeared on pages, highlights on every single page of the book as well as pen markings all over the words making it hard to read. The three stars are for the other two books, one in very good condition (which is kind of true- pages were very old and have turned yellow from paper age but other than that was good, and the other marked good was actually the one that was in very good condition. Those books came in good time. So the three stars go for the good experience on those.

I received the book ordered with a broken spine and definitely water damage that happened before it was shipped.
The shipping status sent was impressive but I was disappointed with the condition of the used book received. Not sure what to do?
