I took on Australia Post over not that single item but other items despite the sellers best intentions the book arrives damaged reply was "All care, No responsibility".
Whilst it may not matter to some how an item arrives when I buy a new book I hope to receive it in excellent cond, Lances book suffered the same bumping to the spine and edges.

Some ppl dont care and say don't be so pedantic, but I say to them imagine you go down to a car dealership buy a brand new car and they deliver it to you with being keyed down the side and dented in the rear and doors then turning to you and saying well we take reasonable care its your issue now, bye!

When and if I sell a book its in a cardboard postal parcel in Bbl wrap and then gaffer taped to the inside of the box so it cannot slide around and get damaged.

Oh, it's not pedantic at all. For any of us who care about our collections, receiving any volume banged up and damaged is well beyond frustrating. I've had exceptional care taken by Canada Post; I've also seen them dump packages obviously containing printed material onto the wet ground (when I have a sheltered small alcove adjacent to my front door.
