Super transaction. Very reliable fast shipping seller. Excessive shipping duration (nearly 4 weeks from US to Canada as USPS sat on package for 2 weeks with no movement) not seller's fault.

Well packaged. Box intact although one of the inside packages had opened and spilled. Heavy duty box and bubble wrap to protect. Very happy with seller.

Great album and very well packaged. I am always annoyed when stamp dealers don't use stamps on their packages, the very product in which they trade!!
