Buying manga? Does this seller look legit?

I'm planning on buying some manga from Amazon, and one of the manga I'm buying is Bleach volume 27.

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/142152385X/r...

The thing I'm wondering is if 'the_book_depositary' looks like a trustful seller, because they're selling manga for a really low price when the manga is still new. I've ordered from Amazon and gotten all the things I've wanted in good condition, but I can't help but feel a bit uneasy because most of the manga I buy usually costs $10-$12... But look at their ratings! They're really good and the feedback they got is good too:

I'm just wondering.... would you buy from them?

    Oh, this is a common selling tactic on Amazon. I'd be skeptical but I wouldn't worry too much. The price just looks insanely low so sellers can catch your attention and compete with Amazon's low price of $9.50 with free Super Saver Shipping. They're probably going to charge you a higher shipping rate to offset the loss in revenue they would've had in selling you this book at .35 cents.

    I'd recommend putting a bunch of them in your cart and checking out so that you can see the real price WITH shipping and handling. DON'T confirm the order or use 1-click though. After that you can go back to your cart and remove all but the one from the cheapest seller and voila!

    TLDR: If you add shipping and handling it might total to the $10-12 price you usally get. Hopefully lower.
