Update: This seller has been very responsive and offered a compromise. I would buy from them again.
I would have rated the purchase higher but I felt the condition of the book was misrepresented. It was described as "Very Good" but it was in poor shape (the covers were falling off and had some water damage). I would have gone with another seller if I had known.
Answer: Hi Isabel, payment is usually issued within the next few business days after processing if there are no issues with book condition. There are two payment options: check and PayPal.

Answer: Dear Peyton, thank you for contacting us. It appears that FedEx made an attempt to deliver to us outside of our working days/working hours. The redelivery request is usually submitted for either the next day or the first business day, thus, we look forward to receiving your package. We apologize for the inconvenience caused and do hope for your understanding of the matter at hand. Best regards, Booksrun Team
