    The kit was as-described in the listing, new and still in the plastic wrap. Shipped in solid outer box. Delivery took quite a while courtesy of the disjointed USPS, but the seller can't be held for any fault there. This seller is GTG.

    The item was in pristine condition and packaged well, but the best part was the excellent service I received when there was a shipping issue. The seller was responsive and was able to address it all very well. Very good communication. I would certainly buy from this seller again. Great experience.
