- i***b (256)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseItem arrived on time and is exactly as described by seller. And, if I may, I’d like to point out how EXQUISITELY well-packaged it was for shipping. The item was wrapped in a tight plastic mailer, placed in a reinforced bubble mailer, and then wrapped again in another thick bubble mailer. Needless to say the item arrived undamaged and in perfect condition. Highly recommended seller based solely on the packaging. The fair price and awesome selection is just icing on the cake.
