This came much quicker than expected. about a month. They are very expensive and one would assume they would come in a hard plastic case or even a decent rolling case. It's not like this. It was packaged in a very thin plastic sleeve, no better than cling film. And it was sent in a plastic postal envelope, not a box, so the envelope was torn in several places. It was very disappointing. I'll buy them a nice suitcase, but with what I paid I don't have to.
