- _***p (0)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseUntrustworthy seller. Book listed as available, but after purchase alledged the item was shipped but used an “untracked” shipping option from USPS. Just as you might expect, Rocky Mountain Textcrooks never responded to the shipping inquiry, they simply refunded the transaction so they could relist the trending item at a higher price. Why else would you immediately refund the purchase unless you knew you never shipped in the first place. This is textbook deception. Run away from this seller asap!
