We received on time our ordered 5 sets of these unique lights. The are very effective and bright. However, when we saw the primary shipping box on our porch, we were afraid that we received a box of glass chips with wires. That's what it sounded like when moved. The box was a makeshift cut down of two boxes taped together. Looked like something a young child would do for a first grade class project. There was virtually no protective material inside. The product boxes showed signs of being crushed as was the outer box and the shipping label was barely hanging on. Only one of the five boxes of lights had sealing tape on both ends meaning all the products were free to slide and tumble about during shipment. The only good side of this part of the story is that the lights DID survive intact to show their toughness and worked the first time we plugged them in. I was going to deduct two stars for the packaging issue but, because the product survive and worked, so I only remove one star.
