    Awesome seller. I bought a lot of four books and the seller packaged them together to save shipping, had excellent communication and let me know about an issue the post office had with the shipping label right away. They also resolved the issue and had the items to me in a very reasonable time. Items were in great shape, are as described, were very well packaged, and arrived safely. I would happily do business with this seller again. Thanks!

    Received in timely manner and product is as expected. Would do business with again. Not too far off on cost to ship. With no insurance or tracking it would have been approximately $4.47. so I would say with the way things were packaged well I feel it is close to what it would be for what I paid, which was $5.99 for shipping. Could it have been sent for less? Possibly, but not without tracking. I consider the seller reliable.

    Thank you so much. I received the item very fast. It was packaged beautifully, protected all around and cushioned. The perfume is exactly as described and I appreciate the clear description and photos in the listing. I have been wearing Chanel No.5 for a long time and it's authentic. I will gladly purchase from the seller again.
