    Love the little creamer it compliments my other items beautifully. Packaged securely and was just what I needed for great value. Shipping was way too long and is absurdly expensive for over 3 weeks of waiting. But I certainly would purchase from this seller again!

    The product is exactly as described and well packaged. There was a problem with delivery (not the seller’s fault). The seller was super supportive about wanting to make things right. Good customer service is rare these days, and it will certainly keep me coming back to this seller for more. Many thanks!
