- d***3 (132)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe shipping was extremely fast and also the packaging was very secure and they did not get bent. They were exactly as described! I think it was a great purchase and great value! The seller communicated so well throughout the entire process before purchase with my questions. Great seller!!! I highly recommend them!
- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI’ve seen (and for that matter owned) a lot of Philco Hippos over the years. This is one of the nicest. The radio arrived quickly. It was skillfully packed to stand up to clumsy delivery people, ( bubble wrapped , double boxed, with plenty of styrofoam peanuts and other padding for fill.)The pictures and description were accurate. All in all, a great transaction and a good value!
