Pamdamenter had some rare items up for sale and took great effort to wrap the in protective bubble wrap and poly bags. The items arrived as described. This seller also messaged me about how they would ship the items and did a follow up when they arrived. Seller responds promptly and is very polite and professional. I am very happy with the entire transaction. 10/10
A great seller to work with who kept in touch throughout the shipping process. They even managed to ship my package earlier than expected. The product was as described and the packaging itself couldn’t have been more secure and safe.
Excellent item arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Packed incredibly well. Very well priced and very, very good communication. Would definitely buy again from this seller.
