I placed the order Tuesday afternoon. I went to sleep very late Thursday night. Luckily i set up text notification with USPS and was awoken by my Tuturu ring tone (always a great way to wake up) Text said delivery would be today. I received her Friday morning!! Idk that just seems ridiculously fast to me, from Japan to Ohio. All the useless info aside... Yoshino was extremely well packed, box is in perfect shape. Obviously a good deal of care had been taken in the packaging. Came with extra goodies :). I honestly could not be happier. Will definitely purchase from TOM again!!!
