  1. Everything about this purchase was excellent. The lambs are in perfect condition and the price was was. They were shipped promptly and packaged with exceptional care. Although the items inside are fragile, they were wrapped in protective layers, placed in a small box, then wrapped and secured in more layers of bubble wrap and paper before being placed in another box. There was no chance of damage! Many thank to the seller for a purchase that makes me very happy.

  3. Item arrived just as described on eBay. It took a bit to receive, but it was packaged perfectly! Thank you! You wouldn’t believe how people send things and they are broken due to poor packaging. I love the Staffordshire dogs!
