I have ordered books through this site…

I have ordered books through this site previously with no issues. This time 3 books did not arrive and Royal Mail (after 10 days of tracker follow ups) returned the package “to sender” despite previous deliveries arriving. My contact at Awesome books apologised but could be resend the books - did my order actually exist and was the confirmation false? Still contemplating a re-order of the same books but my confidence is dented

books are clearly not checked before being sent as i received my book with an old price tag on it (the price i paid was more than double the label) and a receipt inside with someone’s personal details including name and bank details!
delivery was quick i just think another quality check should be in place.
