Smooth selling experience
November 27, 2024

Just as described. I made sure to plastic wrap it too just in case water creeps in during shipping via USPS. Smooth process, no hiccups.

Book Buy Back
November 27, 2024

I sent a book that got approved per the ISBN number inside the book. I was quoted an amount and agreed to that. They got the book and decided they wanted to use the ISBN number on the back when the one inside the front cover was approved on the site. They re-quoted $4 for the very expensive and brand new book. It was just a way for them to get the book and then turn it to spend less money. Then I had to pay for shipping to get the book back because I refuse to accept $4 for a $300 new book. Their phone number does not work so don't bother calling if you have issues. It's some type of automated thing that hangs up on you. You can submit a complaint online, but they won't respond until the transaction is complete. How convenient for them. Terrible terrible company.

Shipping packaging & communication
November 26, 2024

The time to ship my books was good; when they arrived, the packaging had opened halfway along the perforation, and I had only received one of my two books; obviously, the other (smaller) book came out of the packaging. I emailed right away explaining this to the email address given.
-The reply I received was basically, "It was shipped. It shows as delivered. Check with UPS."
Even though I was VERY DETAILED, the email was not read carefully, and the problem was not addressed.
It took a blunt email to get the communication needed to rectify the problem, which was settled with a refund.
I may use them again (since they finally communicated and worked with me), but I am not sure yet.
Update: 12/12/24
They did issue a refund to me for that book.
