This must be a very popular item because it took a while to get on back order. This was my first purchase so I wasn’t aware of the back order situation. Great communication via email to keep me informed. All my emails were answered immediately. The bottle came fuller than the amount paid for so that was a nice thing after waiting a month. Cant wait to use it and see how it works! Thank you 🙂
