I returned 1 rental and sold 2 books in the same month. I was credited for the return and paid for 1 of the 2 sold books, if I understand correctly. No mention of where the 3rd book went.

A Speed Read...

My order was filled almost the day I ordered it and shipped immediately. It arrived in excellent condition in about the same time it takes an Amazon delivery. Couldn't be happier.

Made right with their mistake
September 19, 2024

I ordered a book about 2 months ago. They finally replied to my email saying they wanted to make it right. I would have preferred the correct book sent to me but they did make the situation right.
