- 4***l (27)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufRyland is very customer-oriented and a conscientious seller. After placing my order, I noticed that the shipping cost was more than advertised. When I questioned Ryland re the change, he had no idea why it happened, but he was so apologetic and assured me that he didn't make the change. He then immediately sent me a refund and when I mentioned it was a Christmas gift for my son, offered to ship it to me wrapped! Which I just rec'd, and he did! I would definitely order from Ryland anytime.
