    After I ordered the hat seller informed me of a scuff mark on the top that he initially didn't notice. He offered to refund my payment. I asked him to ship and give me a partial refund. He gave me a generous partial refund. Received the hat. Carefully packaged. Scuff mark is fairly inconsequential. Extremely satisfied with the purchase.

  • Good for formula calculations. Set up more like a textbook

    It is more like a textbook that gets a person ready for a test. It seems like a person better know what they are doing before a person takes on the project. It is great for formula calculations but if you don't know some of the stuff that goes into calculations what's the point?
