only from the 5 star sellers, very rarely the 4 star ones and I have no
problems. Good site.
I've used abebooks while searching for original first edition of books
published in the UK from 100 years ago....
If microcode is referring to USPS Media Mail delivery in the US, be
aware that it can definitely take the better part of a month to be
delivered. I ordered a book from a seller (different service than abe)
and they shipped it media mail. It took upwards of three weeks, and was
not the right book(very similar title, same author/publisher, so mistake
seemed honest enough). Shipped it back, and then they shipped the right
one. It took almost two months to get what I ordered.
I'll always be paying an extra $10 for faster shipping --- whether the
book is a $4.00 book or not.
The shipper was only located a few states away on the East Coast. I
joked about being able to walk the distance in a shorter time.
