- _***v (948)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMany thanks and appreciation to this seller for a great service rendered as ever. Great packaging (A+). The items were shipped quickly and arrived in very good conditions. The seller provided tracking information as expeditiously as possible. The items are good and arrived much quicker than I expected. Overall, this meticulous, assidious, attentive (to details) seller deserves a FIVE-STAR (5-STAR) rating. I highly recommend this hardworking and very well-organized seller.
- d***d (21)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBeware this seller drop ships Amazon packages. So they will give you a non existing tracking number from Aquiline. So you will have no idea when your package is coming. But it was delivered by the latest date it said on eBay. The product looks good and was packaged well. It’s looks to be in good condition. I did try and message the seller with no response. So buy at your own risk.MAYASAF 【2 PACK】 2.5" Inlet/Outlet Universal Catalytic Converter, with O2 2 (#156945978625)
- y***y (30)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSuper fast delivery:. Ordered on October 4th 2025 in the afternoon at Tucson, 5th shipped, 6th in the hands of Aquiline, and 6th the package was laying by my door in a bag with Amazon arrow sign. I simply look at the 4 tire valve extension pipes, new, good quality, and good condition. Definitely, a good deal and good valve. Thank you, seller.
