    Item arrived well packed and in good condition, alas it was over 1 month to get it, and seller offered no explanation. Item perfectly described and in good order, but extremely slow service.

    Longest shipping time I've ever experienced. Bought 8/11, arrived 9/18. Responded to emails quickly and item arrived brand new as described. Didn't note the 20 day shipping window until after purchased, took even longer than that.

    Excellent item and good seller communication. Shipping time was good once it shipped, but it was a little bit of a wait before that happened. For the price I paid, the wait was worth it because it was everything expressed in the listing.
