- c***t (33)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy order was exactly as described and arrived quickly and carefully packaged. Very pleased with this purchase. Overall 5 stars. I would just mention that the communication could be a bit better, such as letting me know the order had been received etc. But I trust and recommend this seller having bought from them previously. So the lack of communication wasn’t a big worry. But it’s worth pointing out. Otherwise, excellent experience and very happy.
