Ordered this about three months ago. Seller contacted me to explain that it might be late, which I said was fine, then never got a response back. Never shipped. Tried to contact again. No response. Looking at other recent reviews, it seems I'm not the only person having this problem. I really did not want to leave this review as the seller was quite kind when we were in communication but something seems to have gone very wrong here.
