I ordered this for my partner as a Christmas present. The seller sent me a very cute message with a picture of the package before they shipped it. I accepted that it was going to get here in January like eBay and USPS said, but the package actually got here BEFORE Christmas, four days early! It also came with a very beautiful handwritten note and a sticker. You've absolutely made our Christmas!
Fantastic seller. Item arrived well packaged and as described. Communication was great the whole time, received images of the item as it was packaged, dispatch was quick, with tracking provided, and only took 9 days to arrive which I thought was really good from Japan to the UK. Handwritten note and complimentary Pokémon card were a nice touch. Highly recommended.
