Great Book, Shipping SUCKS!

This is a great book, just what I was looking for!  However the shipping SUCKS!  12 day from IN to OR.  I would recommend using someone beside DHL Global Mail!!!  I rated the book at 5 stars, the shipping at 0 stars.  So the average is 2.5 stars.  So 2 stars it is!

This is a great book to ease your way through Shiva, Shloshim, and a year of mourning.  Unfortunately, when we ordered it at Amazon, it showed two copies remaining, but after we ordered them, it was then listed as backordered.  Even more unfortunate was that Amazon did not notify us of this.  So, it was three weeks before we got these books that have daily reflections.  Amazon was kind enough to waive shipping after I called them asking where the books were(especially since I had paid extra to have them shipped as soon as possible), but our experience with Amazon was very disappointing this time around.  In the future, I would order the book again, but somewhere else.

The book was everything I expected, and, for the price, I was thrilled. Side note: The international version has the exact same homework problems as the U.S. version, only far cheaper. The reason for losing 3 stars was due to the shipping. It arrived on my doorstep, a day earlier than expected, but when I looked at the packaging, I realized, the book was shipped in a flat-rate envelope that was one size too small -- the book stuck out the end. The adhesive sealing-strip was stuck to the outside cover of the book. When I tried to un-stick it, it tore the cover. I'M PISSED!

I love this book and recommend it! However my copy arrived in horrible condition and not as described at all.

I love the book, however, I have only received 1 of the 8 books ordered!! It has been over a month since ordered and I paid for expedited priority delivery. I have a request for review of the incomplete delivery with the US postal service.  I have sent emails to the seller for review of the incomplete shipment.  I have also submitted a claim with amazon.com.  My project has been placed on hold because of this unfortunate issue and unless I get these books by Nov 1st, I may not need them at all.  Maybe someone reading this can help.

The book itself is great....a classic christmas story that my nephews will read for years to come.  However, the book jacket came ripped, probably because it was shipped in a box that was much too large and no packing filler was used, leaving the book to be bounced around inside the box. Very disappointing as the book was meant as a gift.

The book is very good quality, my son loves it! I am really disappointed with the way it was packaged for shipping and the condition I received it in, there were marks on the book jacket and some rips in the edges. LUCKILY, my son could care less about a book jacket, and is thrilled to have a book with tons of Thomas stories and colorful pictures.

Would have loved to give this book with the other I bought for a gift. Unfortunately it was damaged in transit and not able to be given as a gift any longer. The NZ Post shop in Portland, USA damaged the book when they decided to open the book (cut down the front of the book) for inspection. Had they opened it from the top not the bottom that would not be the case as Amazon had bubble protection in place. (Unfortunately in their terms and conditions they will pay to replace the book but DO NOT PAY TO HAVE THE BOOK SHIPPED!) Next time forget NZ Post shop - despite the cost I would have it shipped direct.
These books look awesome though and great value for money.

The book is very good and interesting, it has a lot of good things in it and I am very happy with the price. The only issue wit it was who I ordered it from. The book got to me an the package was a little messed up and the corners on the book were torn. The plastic like cover on the front is not in good shape.

The book is excellent; however, the place I bought it from is called Booksusa and it is not in the US.  We needed the book promptly for a speech competition and did not anticipate two weeks for it to arrive.  When I emailed them to ask where the book was coming from, they were evasive.  If you are in a hurry for a book, be sure that they up front that it is coming from out of the USA-like Belgium!

The book is beautiful and I was so happy when I got it. The shipping was a little on the slow side. I still love the book though!

This is a great book but it arrived badly bent in the mail.  Since it was a gift and I didn't have time to return and exchange it, I had to accept it.  Very frustrating

The book is absolutely wonderful! However, when I received it, it was damaged both on the outside and the inside. Very disappointing!

The book, itself, is perfect and was delivered in new condition. I was very disappointed in Amazon's shipping. This book was a gift and was guaranteed delivery by Christmas; however, it did not arrive until Dec. 29. Amazon's customer service was helpful though.

This book is great, I recently got it to shape up for the big day. The shakes are delicious, the exercises aren't that horrible, and its all very realistic! The only issue is that the book took forever to deliver. I ordered it and almost a month later it finally arrived.  I contacted the seller after two weeks with no response.  For the great price, though, I can not complain too much!
