Feedback?

I requested a newly listed book yesterday and quickly received an email indicating that the book's owner had rejected the request almost immediately. The reason given was "Very sorry, just reactivated this account and had not removed all of the books listed when you requested this. Have to reject the request, sadly." This sounds to me pretty much like "I no longer have this book," which BookMooch says is not an acceptable excuse. I clicked the link in the email that should have taken me to a place from which I could leave feedback for the transaction, but the page repeatedly stopped downloading before any possibility for feedback appeared. So I went to my member history, hoping to be able to leave feedback from there, and found that the transaction already had feedback - a +1 and an appreciative comment I had put on the next previous book I received. When I looked at my earlier history, it turns out that the same thing has apparently automatically happened, without my noticing it, for any book I requested that has been rejected, cancelled or lost.

Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anyway to fix it? This certainly isn't the kind of feedback I'd want to leave on record for these transactions. I have emailed BM but I realize that they're very busy, so I thought I'd ask here.

Book from Canada?

Please could someone tell me approximately how long it takes for a book to get from Canada to the US? I realize that the time might vary considerably depending on the post offices at each end and whether it got hung up in Customs. Is a month long enoiugh to wait before figuring that it's lost?

Thanks for your help.

Spam via Friend request?

I just received a Friend request from something called 'grenlist' which is apparently not a human. Has anyone else received this? I hope this doesn't mean that BM members individual email accounts are goiung to be targeted by spammers.

Audio books

Is there any way to do a fast search for which audio books are avaialble to mooch? I'm looking for them for my mother, who doesn't care whether they're on cassettes or CDs. I've been doing it author by author that I know she likes, but so far turning up nothing.
