I was going on vacation for a week and asked the seller if he would be willing to ship the items to me after I returned from vacation. The seller was very nice and professional and told me it wouldn't be a problem. The items arrived at my house about 4 days after I came home from vacation. I really appreciated the extra effort he put forth to accommodate me and my schedule. Great job. Thx.
