I can't recommend this seller highly enough. Everything was excellent, from the items' condition, to communication, to packaging. They took extra care with packaging because they knew we were having floods in my area. Postage was fast and tracking was brilliant. Postage cost to Australia was ridiculous, but that's not the seller's fault - they actually gave me a discount for multiple items! I hope to be a return customer.
