1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Order from THERMITE MEDIA!!!!, March 17, 2010

This review is from: Mashup Case Studies With Yahoo! Pipes (Paperback)

I'm not reviewing the book, I'm reviewing the seller. I don't recomend you to purchase anything from them: I bought a couple of books, that claimed to be in stock, only to receive an e-mail 13 DAYS LATER to notify me, they weren't... Then, they cancelled my order without my authorization, and on top of that, they have no idea what customer service means, they were rude and unpolite, they completely disregard me or my needs as a client, and ignored my requests or doubts.
I've been buying from Amazon for years, and I have never dealt with such an unpleasent buying experience. HIGHLY recoomend no to buy from THERMITE MEDIA.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Order from THERMITE MEDIA, November 15, 2009

I am not reviewing the book in this review. This is a warning DO NOT ORDER FROM THERMITE MEDIA! They are completely automated and good luck if you need customer service. By the time you figure out how to contact them, or that they get back to you, it will be at least a month. Their customer service is unacceptable. I lost money and did not get my books from Thermite Media. I ADVISE ALL- ORDER FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!
