- u***7 (139)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseJust want to mention that the order was placed July 14, 2025 and was not received until July 28, 2025. And when looking at the tracking history, the item was in the possession of the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE GROUND SERVICE that actually rerouted the package to the same state and city twice!!!!! I CAN NOT BLAME THE SELLER FOR THAT!!!! The important thing is it arrived in perfect condition and was packaged very well. The item was described perfectly!! A plus!
