- t***7 (312)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseA Great CD at a great price. However I would refrain from the type of packaging used as the jewel case was in pieces but the CD was intact. My experience with receiving CD's is quite substantial. The ones that survive are wedged between two pieces of cardboard wrapped by tape and put in a white bubble Shipping pack the size of the CD. I've yet to have one delivered broken. I'd pay the extra cost for it myself just because of the cost to me replacing the CD Jewel Case. They're not cheap. Stan
