The seller was very easy to work with. She responded quickly to my offer. The fragile Murano glass fish was packed carefully in wrapping paper, then with a generous amount of bubble wrap. Packing material filled the box to further cushion the piece and ensure the box wouldn't collapse. I'd recommend this seller.
Excellent seller. The packaging was of a professional standard, providing maximum protection for the product. The item arrived in pristine condition—exactly as described—complete with its factory seals and documentation. The care and honesty are greatly appreciated. A well-deserved five stars!
Packaging was great! Item was glass just as described and a very good value for the price. The shipping was super fast. I received it in about 4 days. Great seller and excellent service. I highly recommend this seller.
