I had a shipping issue with this company! When I ordering this book on Amazon web site. At the end of the functions...gave me no option to change the shipping from standard shipping to overnight shipping. I would have had to cancel out everything I had just typed in, and go back into my profile..change it. Then retype the order over again. As a college student and over loaded with study. I had no time to do this over. I just needed this book ASAP. So I submitted the order anyway and then emailed the company to get back to me ASAP before shipping the book and that I needed shipped overnight. They email me the next day..saying that they couldn't ship it over night due to that was the money they received from this order from Amazon was standard shipping. I asked if I could pay extra money with a credit card for shipping...they said they couldn't do that...the order has already been placed!!!!!

This forces me in to go get another book locally. After receiving the book a week or so later. I emailed back...that they had NO COMPANY NAME ON THE RETURN ADDRESS or INVOICE in their package for returning the book. They emailed me back after emailing several times... finally. No RETURE..it was MY FAULT do the shipping issue.
Not working with customers is not my fault and this is not right to treat a customer due to the fact I was in contact with them the next day in placing changing the shipping status on this order They should have worked with me in paying the extra shipping charge with a credit card over the phone..................(problem would have been solved.)

You just can't do this to people and get by with it!!!!!!!!!! I' am glad Amazon has this comment section for feed back from customers to voice our experience with book companies.

Would not order from individual again, seller did not supply tracking number and it took two weeks to obtain book. Seller was not honest enough to advise the book was not complete. Had to obtain second half from publisher. Dishonest seller..........
