Way, way too slow

Ordered a book that was described as located in Ireland(my country). A week went by before it was shipped. This company is way, way too slow

Order placed. Yearning for it xD

I have just placed an order on Kennys website. Everything looks OK.
They are specialized in Book, so no problem. Not like some Fish in the Pond website over there.
They have the best price for shipping around the world. (Yeah~ I do not mentioned those countries like U.S.A, Canada, England... . I talked about us, the rest of the world)
Looking forward to the book anyway ^_^
Update: I got the book. The package is really good. Thank you Kennys.
Around 25 business days from Ireland to Vietnam.

Unhappy customer

The book I ordered didn’t arrive in a new condition, even though they said it was new. They blamed the Spanish post for this- the packet had a bit of a hole in it and the spine of the book was scraped. They offered a refund of 15% instead of offering to send me a copy of the same book in a new condition. I declined the refund offer and won't use them again and do not recommend using them.
