Complaint Review: Priority Textbook - gelugor penang

Priority Textbook scams students by offering less expensive textbooks.  When you seach for an American textbook via the ISBN number, in my case 978-0-0780-2405-4, you see the picture of your American textbook and you think, hey I just saved $10 more dollors on textbooks.  When the book arrives it is something totally different, in my case ISBN number 978-007-132621-6.  Of course the unsuspecting student looking for a good deal gets ripped off right as classes start.  You don't realize it until you receive the book at the last minute and your university says that is not the right book.  What do you do? You go back out and buy the right book at a much higher price.  Then you contact the retailer and ask for your money back.  There is another catch, the seller will not pay for return shipping.  I repeatedly sent request for a refund, on the fourth email I got a response about how international textbooks are almost the same and American can use them email, an attempt to get me to keep the book.  After a few more emails back and forth I finally get a return address from Priority Textbook.  When I tried to send it the book back, it cost more to ship than the book cost.  I tried online shipping deals but Malaysia is one of the few countries that does now allow credit card payments for shipping.  It prevents you from using discount shippers like parcelmonkey.com, which I tried for the first time and that is how I learned about Malaysia's credit card policy.  I sent another reply to Priority Textbook requesting a return shipping label, they replied back their customers normally use USPS.  Here are the messages :

yes this is my first time using priority textbook. I am well within the thirty day return time frame. Your "international" and various versions are misleading and unfortunately I cannot use this textbook. Having the lowest price is not the only requirement. Please provide the RMA and other information required to return this textbook. Maybe next term priority textbook will be the textbook store I can use. This time it is not. Thank you for understanding my position and urgency.
