    Item was never shipped, and the seller did not respond to any of my messages. When I requested a cancellation, they declined. eBay had to intervene to resolve the issue.

    As described, item was delayed due to USPS I asked the seller to call regarding the package I don't know if the seller ever did but the package started to move the very next day. Other than USPS everything was great.
