    Great seller! Had a question about two items I wanted to purchase. Sent an email to seller at 8:35 pm, they answered me an hour later the same evening! Prompt shipping, secure packaging, very reasonable and polite to deal with. Items were in even better condition than described on seller listing. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this seller again. Most highly recommended!!

    This coat matches description and arrived 24 hours after purchase- so fast. Seller at first didn't respond to questions but a few days later responded very promptly and was very understanding and considerate towards me in case I wanted to cancel purchase since I hadn't heard back. I really appreciated that. I am happy with purchase and seller.
