    Item was exactly as described. And authentic. It was packed very well, for any bumps or drops on the way. Item smelled great and I got it for a steal. Shipping was fast and I was updated regularly. Very good experience with this seller and hope to see what they have in the future. Only set back was the cost of shipping, as it was almost double what the price for this size of shipping should have been.

    I accidentally finished the purchase with our old address listed and worried that it would be delivered there and I’d have to go back to our old building. Contacted the seller and they were able to change the order promptly and it made it to us no problem. They had great communication. Item came as described and packaging was perfect. Great value. Thanks so much!
