They were shipped perfectly and packaged excellently. Sometimes when you get these in the mail, they can get damaged at the top, but these were bubble wrapped and there is no way they could've been damaged. They are so sharp that I have to learn how to use them, it's a great prob to have. They just cut so quickly, I absolutely love them and they are my everyday snips now. They were as described and were a great value. I actually, HONESTLY wish I could buy another pair.
