    Item arrived mostly safely and exactly as described. The packaging was a little light, which caused some light denting of the outermost corners, but other than that all pencils are in perfect condition!

    If there was a Very Positive experience feedback option, I would give it to this seller. Extremely Generous & Helpful. Order arrived quickly so shipping is great, both in time & costs. Seller communicates promptly & very clearly. There were issues with this order which happened during shipping, I found out. Although it was not the seller's fault he stepped up & went beyond fixing everything. The seller's customer service is outstanding & excellent. The best I have had on eBay so far! Thank you!!
