Item arrived well, but I truly wish it had been better wrapped. Sent in a cardboard envelope with no padding or strengthening, it is a small miracle that it made here without begin bent. More often than not, these things get stress during transport from lying in piles. Writing “do not bend” on the envelope will not prevent it from happening. And when it does happen, the item has basically lost 2/3 of its value. Instead of sending along other stuff, please consider a box and bubble wrap. Thanks!

Arrived early and is in perfect condition. Was very well packaged and the seller slipped in a postcard with an Edgar Allen Poe quote that made me laugh. I’d definitely buy from this seller again.
