    I was very satisfied with this seller! The book came in the exact condition that was originally described, and I was being updated consistently with when the item was shipped as well as when I’d receive it. The seller was on point with communication and I really appreciate that so much because I was able to know when I’d receive the item and I got it at the perfect timing when I needed it!!

    The item was exactly as described and pictured. Even with shipping the price was a great value compared to brand new Ariat boots. It was obvious that a lot of care was put into packaging it. Shipping cost were very reasonable.
