This was the most exemplary eBay purchase that I’ve made in recent memory. As soon as I bought the item and paid for it, the seller began the shipping process and messaged me that it was on the way. The item was packaged securely to ensure that it would be delivered undamaged and it arrived in excellent condition. The package came several days earlier than expected as it was never delayed. I can’t recommend this seller highly enough I look forward to buying from them in the very near future.
