Okay but delivery issues...

I've been a Book of the Month subscriber for almost a year. And in general, it's pretty great. There selection is good and they highlight some great voices. That said, I have recently been experiencing a lot of delivery issues. I ordered my August box on July 31st. The first shipment never made it. They sent a new box. This box did not have the correct book. They are sending another but I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation. It can be a bit frustrating to wait so long when the objective is to order a book for the month of August. It's now August 20th and I still don't have the book I ordered.

Highly recommend!!!!

This is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’ve been a member for five years now and I just love everything about this service. It’s so cost effective and I’ve been exposed to so many books that I would have missed out on.
