I was looking for a second hand copy of a particular title. Campsie had one. It arrived a few days later and for SH, was in VG condition. Really pleased!

Instead of my book arriving, I had a package containing clothes from a company I had never heard of. I contacted that company and they were able to work out that the book I had ordered from Campsie books had gone to their customer and I had received their customer's clothing in error.
I have tried emailing Campsie books but not had a response.
Trying to track the parcel is very onerous involving downloading an app called "Shop" which I haven't been able to open.
All in all, very frustrating and meanwhile my book is still Sat at a stranger's house.

Apologies for Evri's mix up Sarah. It's also unfortunate that both our emails to each other ended up in spam folders.
I'm working on a solution now - dont worry, it'll get resolved either by you getting your book or a full refund... Apologies again Sarah. Thanks for your patience and glad you finally got your book.

Well Organised Order/Delivery
December 11, 2022

The book was one (out of print in Canada) I'd been searching for, for some time, and with the mail delivery strike I wasn't confident of it arriving soon. However, I'm pleased that the seller used a courier service, with tracking that works….this is the only package out of 6 from various sources that has arrived, and was the last one I ordered. The book's condition was exactly as described, and arrived very well packaged.

Not a lot to say - it was a very low price, easy to order and came in a couple of days. It's off to France tomorrow to intrigue a good friend.
