Very hard to write again. Been quiet too long.

Bad BookDepository Post

You know, when you order online from a big store you'd expect to get decent copies of what you order.


Alright, ordering online comes with the caveat that your books might not always arrive in pristine condition.
There's always some dick on a sorting band somewhere who, because he's had a bad day; maybe he left his lunch at home, throws his packages with more force than neccessary, or some butter-fingered postman who drops your package on the ground and clumsily steps on it, then, enraged, kicks at the offending object and hopefully breaks his tiny toes, or maybe even some dog that gets hold of your anxiously awaited treasure.
Alot can happen underway, and you'd better be aware of that.

Here that explains why Elric is damaged. Wrapped (inadequately) in plastic and flimsy paper, the longer the travel time, the likelier it is to get damaged. I'm not really that upset about that one because yes, it does happen.

This doesn't explain the state of the Hellboy softcover though.
Wrapped in cardboard, and decently I would think.
 When I opened the package, which gave no outward sign of having been damaged, I found the trade in this state.


Not sure how that could have happened inside its protective wrapping without damaging the cardboard itself.
You sent me a damaged copy didn't you?And at full price?

Bad Bookdepository!
