I liked how simpke how fast it was. I dont have any issues, infact was fond of my purchase even tho it was alil pricey. They are good for their prices. Will give them a 5 star once i buy more as abit early for maximum rating. Whats also excellent is they were willing to speak about the product and not be rude like some other places.
