    I had a wonderful experience buying from this seller! They quickly replied to my messages, answering questions that I had on the books. The item description was exactly what I received. The seller also packaged the book set with bubble wrap to make sure there was no damage during shipment. The shipping was quick and I received the item 4 days early! 10/10 experience with this seller!

    Shipping took a bit longer than expected BUT when the book arrived it was in perfect condition and was wrapped very well. Seller did communicate about the delay as well. I needed this as a required text for school and was exactly what I needed but for a fraction of the price. Thank you!
