It was my first time ordering from this shop, and I must say I had some concerns as to whether the products would be genuine, because let's be real, a lot of fakes do come out of China. But I thought I would order a comparatively low value item and see what arrived! Having now received my lovely greyhound I can say that I feel thoroughly reassured that he is a genuine Mr.Z product. The packaging is branded, the model itself has a Mr.Z logo cast into it, and yes these things could be reproduced, but it's the quality of the casting itself and particularly the quality of the painting that left me with no further doubts. The item was dispatched within about three days of ordering, arrived in good time and was very well packed. He even came with a free little collar and lead. I will be more that happy to order from this shop again in future, which is great because here in the UK it's quite hard to find places to buy these kind of products. Happy customer, thank you very much!
