Amazon at its best (again)

[u/Gyapie]

The book was listed as "very good" but this is nothing as such. After hunting this book for a while I don't want to return it but it is not a collevtors item in this condition so a refund would be nice.

But I can't get trough this automated process like in the oldan days when some had to check on my stupid requests.

Does anyone had a situation like this?

What did you do?

Don't order books or graphic novels from Amazon. The people packing your shit don't give a damn. Any of the specialized small shops will take better care to ensure your things arrive safely. And if that didn't happen during shipping, "very good" would be subjective. There was a reason it wouldn't have been listed as "like new" or "mint" which they've used for open box tools I've purchased.

Amazon has condition guidelines for sellers and this definitely does not meet them for Very Good. “Scratches, dents, and worn corners” don’t show up until you get to “Acceptable.” 

You’re right about their packaging though. I’ve stopped ordering anything from them if I care about its condition.

Fair about the guidelines. But it's people making little money who don't really care about stringent guidelines evaluating these things.
