Requested a price match on a weekend day expecting to hear back on the Monday, but I got a response from Dylan just a few hours later, put through my order and the books were here Tuesday! Super fast and friendly service, love supporting smaller NZ businesses! Thanks to Heroes Dylan and Jordan for making my book-buying experience a breeze 😄
