Very Impressed
Where we live is in a very small, very rural town. In fact we don’t have mail delivery and have to go to the Post Office every day for our mail. That said, we have a great deal delivered by various sources that, let’s say, aren’t that careful with the packages. I was so impressed with the way this “glass” bottle was packed, I had it half unwrapped before I actually realized what it was. It was amazing and like Christmas, lol. A lot of other venders could take lessons on packing fromThe Barrel Tap.
