Hello Matteo Mark and list members,
I have purchased items from brad on a number of occassions although i have
received everything i purchased the amount of time in receiving my items and
his communications are terrible. The first time i waited almost 2 months
after payment to receive my item with numerous e mails sent before getting
one back that said he was waiting for packaging materials. Matteo i believe
you will receive your items but Brad needs to communicate and ship in a
timely matter. Bob C.
