My order arrived damaged and the replacement did too
I pre-ordered a book from Insight Editions directly, as I couldn't find it anywhere else at the time. It was sent to me internationally in a flimsy cardboard bag and ended up damaged because of that.
I contacted them and got the sorts of replies you would expect from an autocomplete suggestion, things like 'I'm sorry to hear that!' or 'We'll work to resolve this issue'.
They told me a replacement would be sent 2-3 days later but it took 2 and a half weeks to dispatch, and that was only after I sent multiple emails asking if it had dispatched, and for a tracking number. Most of these emails went unanswered or got a single line response to a paragraph or two that pointed out the problems I was having and that they weren't solving them.
The replacement was sent in the exact same manner as the first one and ended up just as damaged. I contacted them to let them know that, and how deeply unimpressed I was with the delivery and their communications which had now lasted over a month and didn't receive any reply other than an offer of a refund which I accepted and received.
Anyone thinking of ordering directly from Insight Editions should try and find what they want somewhere else first, or wait for it to be released elsewhere if it's a pre-order.
