    The seller was responsive and willing to send my package a couple of days later to a different address since I was in the middle of moving. Book was shipped and arrived as described. Would definitely recommend them!

    Wow! This came incredibly fast given it came from a different country. It was packaged great and stayed protected with a fragile signage sticker on the package itself. The vinyl is in perfect condition and plays nicely. The pictures are so fun to watch! Seller shipped as described and it was well worth the money! Best deal I have gotten.
