Wow, wow, and WOW!

I walked into work today to find that my Maruha order had arrived! 

Wow #1 - Super-fast delivery.

I placed the order on Thursday evening and it arrived on Tuesday.  I believe that it would have actually arrived on Monday had it not been a US holiday (Labor Day).  My building was closed for delivery anyway.  Shipping cost was $45.  I have paid significantly more for significantly slower shipping from within the US!!

Wow #2 - The packaging.

I have always thought it was odd that people take pictures of the boxes and packing stuffs when they receive orders.  What nerds!  Apparently, I have become one of those nerds.  I was very impressed with the quality and careful packaging.  Each item was double-wrapped, usually in a foam bag and then in bubble wrap.  A foil Maruha Motors decal was attached to each item’s wrapping.  Opening the box and unwrapping the items felt like Christmas morning!

Wow #3 - Quality product.

Each item seems to be the product of precise development and thoughtful engineering.  Can’t wait to start bolting things together.

I must also say that the entire experience, especially the prompt and friendly customer service from Maruha, has made the whole experience great.  I will not hesitate to do business with Saiji and Maruha again!
