- s***u (214)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI purchased Gods of Asgard graphic novel on 9/3 and it arrived on 9/11. It was as described and as pictured, gently used and clean with no markings. Tracking the order was easy and it arrived by USPS with no damage. I am happy 😀 with my purchase, fair purchase price and that the eBay Seller included the shipping costs into the purchase price.🏆 The eBay seller packaged well. I would recommend this eBay Seller and their store.👍🏼 It was nice doing business with them. Thank you
- i***. (123)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoOverall, positive experience since seller made some effort to make things right. Seller did not pack this book well at all. Book arrived damaged due to insufficient packing (book was packed in a flimsy shipping bag). Was clearly creased on the spine despite "very good" description. Seller helped by giving me a partial refund. Still disappointed in the poor packing. Hopefully they learn to pack properly otherwise I won't be buying again from them.
