    I received my vest protected in a plastic sleeve in a box. I am an ex-logistics manager, so I appreciate good packaging. I love my vest! It is as described and for a good price. Thank you. I will wear it around my mountain property. I am very happy with the whole process. Your pride in your business shows. If I see anything else I like, I will return and I urge anyone else to as well.

    Great transaction! Quick shipment and lithograph was just as described. Unfortunately, the mailing tube was damaged during shipment; however, thankfully the print was not damaged even though the mailer was dented badly during USPS shipment. Great value for a quality print! Many thanks, an outstanding seller--highly recommended!!

    Amazing seller. Packaging was phenomenal everything was taking great care for. They even added in an extra figure that wasn’t listed which was very cool and I am very appreciative of it. Every thing was smooth and shipping was pretty quick. One of the best experiences on this website. Thank you better than described.
