Most of them stupidity on the part of the shipper. Or maybe because whatever retailer is working through Discover had a wonky printer that caused the bar code that's used for auto sorting to freak out.

I've ordered through Discover and gotten books in better condition than expected, and in a timely manner. So doesn't that negate your negative experience?

One bad shipment ≠ a bad retailer. Shipping snafus can happen to any package. It's a random thing, in the vast majority of cases.

Really.
