    Good price and as described. Four days between shipping label creation and receipt by USPS. Could have been a little faster.

    Well the seller was prompt in shipping them and they arrived quickly and in perfect shape. However they did not fit. But the seller did offer returns and I got my refund quickly by accepting it in the form of an ebay gift card as soon as they were handed off to the post office and on their way back. good deal!!
