    I appreciated the fact that this seller refunded this order because the quality of the product they intended to ship was not up to their defined standards. Rather than ship a product of inferior quality, they cancelled the order, refunding my purchase price, and communicated to me clearly what had happened. This is great service even without the sale! Thank you!
