      Complaint Type:
      Delivery Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I ordered a used hardback book "****************************" from Better World Books on February 11, 2024. I paid for the item via credit card. I was given a delivery date of February 15, 2024. The item never arrived at my address. I was given an updated delivery date of February 20, 2024. Again, the item never arrived. When I did a search for the tracking number on the **** website, it shows that the item was shipped on February 13, 2024. I have made four attempts to contact the seller--Better World Books about my order and none of my email messages have been acknowledged. I ordered the item from an **** listing. I have contacted **** and had them to investigate. **** said for me to wait until February 27, 2024 and if my item hasn't arrived by then, **** will investigate the dispute further. I want the seller to send me my item I paid for.
