Shipping was a nightmare by the USPS. Package took an extra long trip, due to USPS receiving package and then sending back out again. Informed seller and their response and communication was fantastic! Package finally arrived in good condition. Packaging was great. Clock radio was as described and even better! Shipping cost was in line for what was being shipped and the distance. This is a stellar seller and would highly recommend them! Thanks again!
Exactly as described but even more beautiful than pictured. Doll is perfect and I could not be happier! Shipped promptly in secure, waterproof packaging. Excellent value considering a very HTF doll, an outfit, and a case! Thank you for an amazing transaction. I love this doll and she is part of my Christmas present this year.
Beautiful Radko angel ornament. It arrived quickly and was packed well. There was a small issue with my order and seller was prompt to respond to my concern. She was also very easy to work with and quickly came up with a resolution to the issue. I am very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend the seller.
