- a***i (36)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller has an excellent service and communication! Package was delivered on time, item was much better looking than described, price was very reasonable and the package was label as fragile everywhere. USPS didn’t take good care of it and unfortunately it got delivered broken, however the seller was amazingly responsive and fast to give me a solution.

- w***e (718)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseIt was a great experience buying from this seller. Arrived safe and sound, and packed well. It's so stinking cute in person, even cuter in person and prettier than the pictures described. It was a good price. Could not wait to add it to a year round Christmas village cabinet. I would definitely buy from this seller again.
