Beat up box. Fortunately the books were vacuum wrapped in plastic because the shipping box was too big, the air packs were not satisfactory to cushion the books so they shifted inside and the box was really beat up. By the time the USPS delivered it, one entire end of the box was gaping open. Only the corners of the two large hardback books I ordered were a little bent. These are Christmas presents so I wanted them to be pristine. Next time I think I’ll pick up in store, if that option is available. Otherwise order process was great and delivery was actually 4 days earlier than expected.

PANIC! Vinyl It took me forever to find all the older Panic! At The Disco albums on vinyl. I went down a rabbit hole to find a reputable seller/company who had them, and that's how I found that B&N had this album in particular. Panic! At The Disco is so embedded into my soul, that it's definitely a fever I can't sweat out ;)

The Noble Hotdog Absolutely horrible, I had called Barnes & Noble about their new item, The Noble hotdog that I have been told about. They had given my Sisters boyfriends aunties cousin a hotdog when she had called and ordered but when I ordered I had gotten through and asked for one large noble hotdog please and was rudely rejected and threatened with the police! 😱 Over your new noble hotdog! More like the Noble Scam!

Very Positive Experience, Will Likely Order Again It's been a while since I have ordered books online as I am usually a bit nervous about the condition the books will arrive in based on how they were packaged in the box. However, the shipping material was more than adequate to protect the books I bought and they all arrived undamaged. Will definitely order from B&N.com again if I am unable to go to a physical store or if the store doesn't have what I want in stock, the latter being the case for this order. I also appreciate that this order came at the same time as another order I made despite coming from two different shipping facilities, especially since I was planning to read one of the books in this order sooner than those in the other order.

Late review Have ust been lazy. What's more to say about B&N? It's a fantasy island for bookworms. The collection is phenomenal, hardcovers are something I could die for. I've become an almost monthly visitor after the pandemic and every penny spent is worth all the dopamine.
