    The Devil Wears Prada DVD arrived in great condition and as described in the description. All items that were listed as widescreen appear to actually be widescreen. I received a good quality product at a great price. This seller, Greenworld Books, shipped quickly via USPS and took care in the packaging. I've enjoyed everything I received from this seller so far. I'm very happy with my purchase and will purchase more from this seller in the future.

    This is the third product I have bought from this seller, and I have been pleased each time. The price of the product was super reasonable, especially with free shipping. the quality was also just as listed. No tears or nothing. The packaging arrived a little torn, but I wouldn't blame the seller for that.
