The item was as described. The shipping cost was acceptable but the shipping speed was terrible. My item set marked paid for approximately two weeks without any action or communication from the seller. After I asked EBay, a tracking number was provided but it set another week before being shipped. This was because I asked EBay to refund my money and cancel. It was finally shipped and took close to a week to arrive to NC from TX. It was shipped in a flimsy plastic bag. Zero communication at all.
