Shipping was suprisingly fast though the box was damaged when it arrived and the point of the sword was sticking out of the bottom of the box and had some damage from resting or scraping on the ground. As i carried the box inside i could hear the sword bouncing around inside, the packaging was not very secure. The supports for resting it on the back board seem to be missing as wellOverall it looks fantastic accurte to what was shown in the pictureAbsolutely love the sword!! It’s exactly as displayed!! I’ve been a fan of WoW for some time, and have loved this sword since the first cinematic of it!! The only downfall of receiving this item is that there wasn’t enough screws, and they were all different variations of screws!! The money is worth it!After paying this much, I expected this to be in one piece once it got here. One of the sword's pummels (that hold the sword on the support on the wall) was completely off and fell out once we took the sword out of the box. The form holding the sword in was every where. However, I figured it would be to much of a hassle to actually ship the sword back. So I had my husband glue the piece back in, which it looks fine now. Then I finally went to "build" the wooden wall mount for the sword and the pegs with screws don't screw in together. The pegs holes where the screws would go was filled with wood dust, then I cleaned that out, and the screws are to big to actually go in the holes so I can't even get the sword on the wall. So I don't know what I will do with it now. I really love the Lich King's story and wanted this, couldn't afford the actual replica so went with this (which was a anniversary present) and now I can't even get to display it. So frustrated with this after spending nearly $200.00. Don't know what I will do with it now.The sword is beautiful. However, the packaging was awful. just a card board box. Not the box show in the pictures. the point of the sword poked out of the top of the box. the sword is very loose in the hilt. and no hardware was included.The beauty of the sword rates 5 stars, but the packaging and lack of hardware warrant zero stars.Packaging was a joke, no instructions at all had to guess how to assemble the sword mount. Sword is nice but has imperfections. It was OKSlight issues with packing but was made right by the seller. Overall very pleased with this purchase. Quality is good and the sword weighs quite a bit so that’s good.This sword is awesome. Looks great mounted on the wall. Which brings me to point out that it did not come with the mounting wood brackets to actually hold the sword. ?Title pretty much says it all here. I love it. Previous reviews about the mount pegs not fitting in the pre drilled holes is correct tho....but a slightly larger drill bit will fix that quickly. Worth it!!
