- o***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item came in the packaging that was pictured, but that didn't match the item description. However, once I opened it up, it did contain the right DVDs - so it was likely just some packaging snafu from the manufacturer. Rosstore had great service and shipped me a replacement before I realized that I did in fact have the right product already. Good experience overall!Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse / Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: 2-Movie (#146455941677)
- k***a (136)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item was very well packed and everything was new as stated. The issue is with the shipping. I'm unsure what happened as the seller is from the same state that I reside. I ordered on 03/16, the seller took 3 days to ship it, which was on 03/19. Then some strange shipping behavior from USPS happened where I did not get the item until 04/01. I have gotten items from China quicker, but at the end of the day, I got the item as described.Govee HDMI 2.1 Sync Box Kit 2 Light Bars & Backlight 27-34 In MSRP$279 SEALED (#146437346963)
- 7***j (163)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOne of very few sellers that sells an extra small nasal pillow (definitely not a knock off quality) for the ResMed AirFit P10 hose and at a much more affordable price. Arrived in perfect condition. Shipping did take a bit longer than usual, but that’s not the fault of the seller as the package ended up at a USPS distribution center that’s notorious for shipping delays on its way. Highly recommend and will buy from seller again in the future.ResMed AirFit P10 Nasal Pillow X-Small XSML replacement 62930 NEW Factory Sealed (#146395897572)
