Home run! On the first pitch.
August 16, 2024

I normally use standard shipping, especially if it's a difference between free and a charge. Books Run delivered earlier than expected, information about the shipping was posted to my email often and the book looked new with no shipping damage. The packaging was minimal but (less landfill) very protective.

Saving Democracy by David Pepper
August 16, 2024

I have written you earlier and reported my experience. So far, your only response has been to ignore my earlier letter and send another email.

I did receive an email saying "YOUR ORDER HAS BEEN DELIVERED I have never been able to find it on my front porch or anywhere else. I have no idea where they delivered it.

Wrong year sent
August 15, 2024

I ordered the 2024 to 2025 version and they sent me the 2023-2024 version. I can still study with it but that's not what I expected.

I ordered my book by ISBN because i wanted w specific version. When I received my book, I was confused because the cover didn't match. I looked at the ISBN in the front cover, it was wrong. I looked at the ISBN on the back bar code and there was a sticker over the original (wrong) ISBN and the sticker conveniently had the correct ISBN. Beware, and check your books if you order from them.
