My book arrived in record time (it shocked me when it arrived so soon after ordering) and was beautifully packaged. If it didn't go via DHL it would never have made it through the Australia Post system unscathed!!! Thank you!
I received my philosophy text on Saturday. It is in very good condition. I appreciate - and thank you for - your prompt, courteous, professional attention to my request. Hoping to see you when I visit Argosy in the near future.
