The product came exactly as described, and it was well packaged for protection. It was shipped out quickly. There was a small hiccup on the post office's part (not relating to the seller at all) and the seller was incredibly responsive to help resolve the situation. All's well that ends well and my package arrived safe and sound. Very excited to start sewing with them.
Awesome Seller, Highly Recommended. Great communication, item exactly as described, item carefully wrapped & safely shipped. Absolute pleasure doing business with this seller. Every seller should take the time & effort that oaktownephemera put into this transaction. Amazing seller, Incredible Human. Thank you for a great experience.
Such a cool pattern, and the seller sent me a message letting me know when it would be shipped out. It arrived safely and quickly, and was packaged extremely well, in between cardboard so it wasn’t bent or ripped. The seller even included some cute stickers with my order. 5 stars :)
