- m***m (293)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaEverything about this transaction was perfect. I ordered the Heritage Press Call of the Wild. It was a great price, just as described, was packaged in plastic, which ended up being needed since it arrived on a rainy day. I also asked the seller to delay shipping since I was out of town. They kindly obliged my request. The book was inexpensive enough that factoring the shipping cost, was still a better value than other sellers providing free shipping. I will definitely buy from this seller again.
