There are good editors and bad editors. I do some editing on the side and took on a project for an author who had already spent 700 dollars on a professional editor. But there were a lot of typos that had not been cleaned up despite the copy editing that had supposedly been done. Anyone can say they have been edited. And they may have been edited. But putting the stamp of "edited" isn't going to automatically mean the basics are taken care of.
