    Had issues with the FedEx setting it for future delivery- no fault of seller or myself so the package was not delivered until a day after it was due. The seller shipped really fast, next day after order and it was supposed to be here within 2 days so FAST SHIPPING and item was exactly as described and new in the box and worked right out of the box! Haven’t used eBay in over a decade so this was a reassuring experience! Thank you!

    I had a small issue with the product I purchased. I contacted the seller, and instead of going back and forth like some other sellers on Ebay, this seller issued an immediate refund. How refreshing, to have someone that resolves an issue quickly and expediently, without endless back and forth messages. This saved my time and aggravation. I would absolutely recommend this seller to everybody.

    Item was as described, gently used with no stains or flaws. Shipping was pretty quick considering it came from a few states away. Great price for a set of Figs!! Carefully and thoughtfully packaged as well. Thanks so much!
