Boeken in goede orde ontvangen, dank. Er waren wat problemen met de verzending en dan blijkt dat het contact met de verkoper nogal moeizaam verloopt.

Spedizione a dar poco lenta, penso che avrebbe fatto più presto a viaggiare con una carrozza a cavalli. Spese di spedizione eccessive, pagati separatamente due oggetti arrivati nello stesso pacco

Slechts 1 boek ontvangen. Deze 3 boeken nooit ontvangen! Verkoper antwoord niet op berichten. Na eerdere negatieve ervaringen met deze verkoper is mijn conclusie koop niet bij deze verkoper!

Seller's response

Ik ben deze week weggeweest. Ik heb u net een bericht gestuurd dat een onderzoek met postnl opgestart zal worden voor dit pakket; en u kan vervangende boeken krijgen of een refund.

Boek is in orde maar ruim 2 weken op verzending moeten wachten.

Everything fine – the envelope was a bit torn, but the bubble wrap protected the book well. Thanks.

Poor packaging as always. A padded bag is not suitable for heavy books posted abroad. Book sustained damage to corners,

Fast delivery and well-packaged (luckily, because the courier just slammed it through the mailslot). Always happy buying from this seller!
