Dispatch on 11 December, with receipt of the parcel on 22 December. Good ratio, considering the current holiday season and the large number of parcels to be delivered. Concerning the packaging, the card is carefully protected by bubble wrap, and I couldn't see any damage on arrival. However (but it seems to me that this was specified at the time of the order), there are some traces of previous use, such as marks on the processor and on the location of the memory chips. As a replacement for a early-2011 motherboard, once reassembled, the mid-2012 motherboard works perfectly on the first try, but seeing some of the comments, it remains to be seen how this will play out over time.
The seller was very friendly to work with. The shipping was extremely fast and the motherboard was well packaged and works wonderfully
