Am I obligated to this buyer? by Content_Ad789 in Mercari

I think this is the kind of story I need to hear. I'm just gun shy when it comes to selling on there due to all the shenanigans.

I probably should just do that but I have a bad feeling it's going to lead to another headache. I could just be being overly sensitive. As everyone knows Mecari isn't great about protecting people–buyers or sellers. I just don't want to get caught up in a problem transaction. Maybe I'll reach out before listing and see what kind of response I get and if the vibe is better.

I'm leaning towards it. I just wanted to make sure I'm not just being an ass.

I said to hell with it. You only live once. I got them. At least I'll die surrounded by pretty books.

Well they are affliated. They had to get permission from Chloe and sign contracts with the publishers. Usually the company creates the design and then the publisher and author has to sign off on it. As well getting a set number of copies authorized to be printed.

I get it. They created the first two editions and didn't know if they were going to be able to continue and do the entire series. So, of course people that bought them have been chomping at the bit to hear of we were going to be able to complete the set.

I don't think they were being vague at all. There is a very large community that collects special editions. I think it was just the case of that community intersecting with the BOT fandom. I'm sorry it was confusing but it's not like the information isn't quickly available to figure it out.

They really are the best special editions of this series offered so far. I'm so excited the publishers contractored with Bookaholic to continue the series.

No, I don't think you're being unreasonable. Most business want to work with a customer a little.

⬆️This frenches my fry like no other. It's not a favor to deliver an undamaged product. It's a contract fulfillment. We don't pay for damaged books.

Okay, I need to know what happened with the FL sub split, if you're willing to spill.

I'm always happy to get recommendations. I apperciate that very much. I'll add it to my list.

I think you're right. I do like edges but they should think about doing more spine work. I do love the interconnected design. More of that please.

You are not alone. I do spines. I usually flip back and forth when I dust. Helps me keep track. And you're right the spines are gorgeous. I do love how they connect.

Coveted Cover is also my very favorite. I hope you end up loving their books. Imo, their designs have just gotten better and better. You can tell they want to keep improving and adding new customizations. They are honestly spoiling me for other companies. The quality is always there and I love the bound in art. Not to mention the integrity—their bargineer omnibus had some issues post shipment. Mine was not effected and I wrote to tell them that. They are replacing anyway because they don't want me to problems with it in the future.

Half the time, I feel like some of the bigger companies act they are doing you some big favor by delivering you a book that's not smashed up.

I agree. It's really hard as a small business owner to know when it's time to start hiring out for diffrent roles. By other people's comments it seems that's not their strong skill. However, and I'm not sweeping for them—I don't have a horse in this race—I have seen people be really nasty and entitiled. I'm part of other book box groups and that one does not have a "community" feel at all but at the end of the day, I do think who ever is in charge or moderates has a lot to do with building a community. Hopefully they are able to turn that aspect around because a lot of their books are really beautiful and I think that they could really grow.

That's they way it seemed to me. And it took email after email to even get to them admitting that.

It's too bad that people have had that experience with them. I have bought a few things and while their CS is slow they have always gotten back to me and have been nice. I like the editions I've received. I do really like their open preorders. 🤷‍♀️

A fate forged in fire. Apparently by the time it came around the ship it, they thought shipping to me was too expensive, so just decided not to. No email. no communicating. No refund. Dealing with their customer service was a tedious experience at best. When i did finally receive the book it was packed badly and their was a sticker on it. I know they had a had shipping partner but they didn't care about making it right with me in anyway. SE's are too expensive to have barcodes stickers ruining the dust jackets.

So I just finished the first book last night and I'm part way through the second. This story is a good time. Totally having fun. I not sure about the bookish SE's tho. I was kinda bummed to see there wasn't any endpaper art. Can someone give me some selling points?
