    I don't know whom you bought them from, but I know
    one or two Ukrainian
    and Russian sellers who sell them and who are completely trustworthy.
    They are honest, they show you good pictures and they pack well.
    I don't want to advertise them on the list, but can reply
    off-the-list inquieries.

    Of course there is always a risk when buying
    a used item with mail-order,
    and the seller does not have a return policy.

    This is indeed a serious drawback. And faster and more secure
    shipping
    like UPS or EMS from these countries expensive.

    I usually receive my items from Ukraine in about one week
    by UPS.

    Alex.
