- i***i (45)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSuper fast shipping. Packaged well, but the carrier didn't pay attention to the bold "Fragile" sticker on the box. Did offer a refund for the damaged item, but it wasn't their fault so I declined. Nothing a little gorilla glue can't fix. Matched the description and a phenomenal price. All around fantastic seller that I look forward to doing business with again!Lot Of 2 West German Lusterware Lidded Beer Steins Free Ship See Notes Very Good (#127009300118)
