- i***t (39)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseEd went beyond the call of duty with this order. He made a mistake and sent the wrong size bowl, and instead of having me return the wrong bowl, he shipped the correct bowl at no charge. I offered to cover shipping, and he declined and covered that as well. Very generous and thoughtful of Ed. All else with the delivery was excellent. Packing was bulletproof, the condition of the bowls is excellent, and they were priced fairly. Thanks Ed.
