I’m experiencing some unfortunate luck lately with ordering over the internet.
I ordered, from Usedbooks 123, via Abebooks, “Annie’s Coming Out”, written by Anne McDonald and Rosemary Crossley, an account of Anne’s growing up in an institution and how she managed to get out.
The order came in yesterday. I open the baby blue plastic package and what’s inside?
“How to Invest Your Money And Profit From Inflation” by Morton Shulman, 1979
AND
a free item! A 25 cent Harlequin romance novel. “Letter From Bronze Mountain” by Rosemary Carter. The back cover reads, “Can you love and hate at the same time?!”
You can’t begin to imagine my enthusiasm.
I wrote back Usedbooks 123 asking where’s what I ordered, but I figure I’m screwed out of that $9.00 of mine.
Update: Usedbooks 123 first wanted me to return to them the book, saying they’d refund me my money in full, or if I kept it they’d refund a percentage. I complained saying how I didn’t see how it was worth their while, or mine, for me to return the book as it is valueless, and I was concerned they may not refund my money as they promised and I’d be out more money. Today they went ahead and refunded the full amount.
