Comments: "... Dear OramaWorld, I am absolutely amazed by the beauty of the Chalice Set I bought from you. To be truthful, I did not expect such wonderful items because the prices were so low. But I was wrong! I have been searching for an appropriate Chalice for a couple years, and I can say with certainty that your site has the best prices for Chalices of this beauty. Other places sell Chalices that are less beautiful and more costly. If I bought similar items from other places, I would have spent at least eight times more than I spent with you. I do not know how you do it! The pictures on your website showed gorgeous items, but they look three times more beautiful in person. They say the camera never lies -- but in this case, the cameras were too modest. ..."

So the icon arrived, and in perfect shape... there may have been some delay due to U.S. Customs, as the documents pouch seems to have been inspected. The icon is wonderfully beautiful - I had not expected such a fine piece for such a small price. It is indeed a work of art, and a worthy tribute to the Holy New-Martyr Angelis! Thank you again for your concern and help. I am very glad that the package arrived, and I am sorry if it caused you any trouble. Thank you again, for excellent service and for this beautiful icon! ..."
