Products appearance and quality was excellent and the value extremely reasonable, item came as described in solid condition, well packaged, shipping was fast, and response to inquires were prompt. Could not ask for a better seller/buyer relationship. ⭐️
The seller was very helpful and patient. The rabbit salt and pepper shakers are just as described. They are in great condition and reasonable priced. The package arrived very securely with no damage. I am a happy customer.
We absolutely love it. It was shipped quickly though the post office took its time about getting it delivered to our house. It was packaged properly so no issues with that and it's just what I wanted as far as value.
