Dear Argosy Books, This is just to let you know that the D.H.Lawrence Manuscript arrived safe and sound yesterday via DHL, and in record time! I'm very pleased with it. Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to make sure the item was well protected and packed before you sent it. As a result, it arrived in pristine condition and I am very grateful to you for ensuring no damage would occur to it during transit. With all good wishes
Let me take a moment to let you know how pleased I am not only with your timeliness and help, but also your honesty and commitment to your customers. As an instructor at Duquesne University, I am always telling my students about responsibility and, lately, some of the book dealers have given me unnecessary difficulties... I am very pleased with the service I received from your company and will inform my fellow faculty members that they can look forward to professional service from your book shop. Again many thanks and I look forward to future dealings with your company.
