    The item that arrived as advertised. A function as intended. The condition was better than I expected. I got some good value for my money. And it has a good appearance. High-quality packaging used. I wasn’t happy about the shipping being delayed by a day, other than that, it was good.Seller was reliable.

    When I tell you this item was protected, it really was!! It wasn’t loose in a poly bag… it came in a box with multiple layers of protection. The shirt is in amazing condition and had no flaws, like it was never worn. I messaged the seller with an offer and got an amazing deal. I couldn’t thank them enough… thank you!

    Great customer service!! Unfortunately the disc I received was not good quality - it skipped in several places. I contacted the company and explained. They asked me couple of questions then gave me a full refund. Prompt in answering my request and prompt in issuing a refund! Thank you.

  • Excellent guide to offshore cruising.

    Excellent for provoking thoughts and suggesting solutions for offshore cruising. The best guide I've found this activity. Very complete. Wish it was a bit more current, but in most areas the ideas presented are still very applicable and solid.
