    S L O W S H I P P I N G! Bought it on 10/25. Waited a week and no update so I emailed. The seller mailed it a few days later on 11/4 and it finally arrived on 11/12. Item as described. Honest sellers just very slow.

    Seller responded quickly to all questions, but it took a week to ship and another 10 days for delivery. The item matches the description, so if shipping time is not critical, this seller can be recommended.
