Ordered in September 2020, Delivered in February 2021. Well, the good news was the second shipment arrived safely.... Also, once contested oil was on it and responsive. I can only conclude the time it took to arrive was due to the British postal service. But, "Hats" off to Eli, they worked with my through it all and I got my shipment in the end. Sometimes it takes adversity to show you the Tre mettle of the company's responsiveness, Eli.com did great.read more

Absolutely superb. I couldn't believe just how fast my item arrived. I ordered it during my lunch break at work and it... arrived safely at my home address the very next day. My signed item also came with very good provenance (a pass for a signing session that is well documented to have happened), so I absolutely know that it's 100% genuine. I've used Eil.com (Esprit) before and I will definitely be using them again in the future. A very good experience indeed.read more
