Rarewaves is an amazing seller. The items always arrive professionally packaged, cared for, and in a timely manner. I live in the US, so items typically take a little longer to arrive, but they always come MINT and exactly as described. The communication is always professional and informative, their customer support is unreal. A+++! Seller! Will definitely be purchasing from them again and again! Do yourself a favor and trust Rarewaves as your go-to for all things quality! Thank you so much!!

arrived a tad late, but the customer service was absolutely INCREDIBLE. never had such good service from an online shop before- they even offered to replace had it not shown up by the end of the week (luckily it did!) item was brand new (still sealed) and packaged really well- good price too for a resell. completely unscathed arriving here. 10/10, would buy from this seller/shop again in the future. thank you for answering all my questions and being so kind, olaya!

The seller packaged the Blu-ray/DVD/CD box set with care in appropriate cardboard mailers to prevent damage to the box set cover and the discs and shipped the package expeditiously. The package arrived earlier than estimated and the box set and discs were in the as-described New, Sealed, Mint condition. With free shipping, this was an incredible value. I am a repeat customer from this fantastic seller and I will be back for more. Excellent seller! 5 Stars!
