I received a BOB of 2 books this week.  One of the books is by the same author but not the book I requested.  I didn't realize it until after I marked it received, but when I PM'd the sender they said they couldn't find the book I requested.  Is this normal?  I never received a PM letting me know.

There should be no excuse for substitutions without prior permission

Well, there is one, actually, and I've done it..  I got two books mixed up and *accidently* sent the wrong book to two people.  (had multiple orders going at once)  Mistakes happen, but you have to step up and take care of your mistakes.   I would absolutely agree that there is no excuse for *not fixing* the problem.  

Rebecca, if the sender doesn't either send you the correct book, another agreed upon book or offer a credit then I would note that in the feedback for the box.

Well, it was a lesson for me!  I'll check more carefully before I mark books received.  Thank you all for your feedback!

Sorry! Just a goof. No real discussion in this ancient post!
