Good deals and bargains...

Finally got my copy of Glimpses in the mail today. Rather disappointed with the packaging they used - very loosely wrapped in thin bubble wrap and then dropped in a bubble envelope. Got a couple good corner dings as you can see in the photos. Bottom left corner of the spine and both bottom corners of the boards.

Same here. Mine arrived today, wrapped in bubble wrap and put in a thinly-padded envelope. Mine also has corner dings, pretty much just like yours. No way to know if it was like that before they shipped it or not....

Same thing with me, I was pretty dissapointed by their packaging, one of my copies of Crooked House is a little dinged too, nothing to bad, but still dissapointing.

Thanks for the feedback. I sent them an email expressing our concerns and, since I placed another order a few days ago, I asked that they package them better to avoid this in the future.

Well that just plain sucks, I finally got notice it shipped yesterday, media, so no tracking of course. Looks like I can expect a dinged up book as well from the results of all your shipments. People who ship in envelopes to me have no love or respect of books, I would rather pay a couple of bucks more to get mine shipped in a box.

I never had my orders from them shipped in envelopes that I can remember (including when all US orders had free shipping), but I know what you mean about tracking. What is dumb that there actually is (or can be) tracking on items shipped media mail. I doubt I will ever be ordering a HC from them if this is how they ship things now. My last order was 2 PB books during the sale for good they had and I'm pretty sure they shipped in a small box.

Mine arrived via media mail and it did have a tracking number on it. They just never provided it to me. That happens a lot with my packages.

My first order came in a box, but my last two came in bubble wrap envelopes. I hope they don't continue this practice...

I hope not too, for the sake of anyone buying from them and for their sake as well, since that will cause them to lose customers!
