You Say...
My book arrived on Saturday, in brilliant condition. Furthermore, your excellence of service really demonstrates how the Amazon star system has devalued the meaning of "excellent". Although some dealers have been equally good at delivering and condition, the contents of your parcel show that you really do care more about your customers and equally importantly, your business.
