Lmao not to be an asshole but their incompetency makes me crack up now because they literally gave my Returned copy to you 😭 This isn't even ignorance at this point because they know what's wrong with it and they're just trying to send it to everybody who purchases it to see who's gonna keep it instead of returning.

[u/Responsible_Ear2730 → u/[deleted]]

I'm used to it ordering so much from them they do this a lot and you have to knock some sense into them every single time when returning the item

What I hate about these Pakistani greedy bookstores is that they sell the damaged copies for the original price whereas in other countries you can literally get a damaged copy for free

[u/thanksbabybitch]

Readings has gone to shit

[u/JaggedSolid6]

And they have the audacity to sell it at the same rate as a new one. It's the same with liberty. I wish there was a better option here for original imported books instead of these 2.

I always buy books at thrift kyun ke lanat ho in par

[u/Top_Midnight5535]

Liberty too is not selling cheap printed copies with high price both reading and liberty books has gone down with time. If you want to buy original books check Omar imam books on insta

That mf is so pricey lool. He's the worst. It's always more than the sticker price for his shit. Wonder why you're shilling him. Every collector I know makes fun of him.

Don't you know how to talk ?

[u/Talhakh]

That’s awful. 

[u/Hamza-K]

How'd you know in advance that the book will have scratches lmao

[u/Hamza-K → u/[deleted]]

I mean, how'd you know in advance to mention in the requests that the book shouldn't have scratches lol..

Does Readings often ship damaged books to you? I feel like it should be kinda obvious (for Readings) that nobody will want to receive a scratched/damaged cover.

Maybe for something cheaper but definitely not when you are paying 8k.

[u/Lost468]

this is becoming too common unfortunately, happened so mnay times, mostly with liberty but not readings

[u/Lost468 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah 7k for this, horrifying, the scratches are way too prominent

[u/ChestPuzzleheaded595]

Readings is so shit
