I ordered this on November 20th and, despite Thanksgiving and traveling from New York to California, the package was on my porch by the 24th! Everything came in mint condition and the instructions were clear enough for me to start making buttons the next day. The circle cutter is the only thing that's given me trouble (you have to put it together yourself and the instructions aren't very thorough), but I've had success using scissors. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to make buttons but doesn't know where to start. I love that it comes with templates for so many computer programs!
