It arrived correctly.

Delicious, the only downside is that they should include more ice packs inside. I received it very early in the morning and it was starting to defrost, but other than that it was perfect, I loved it.

ingrid.castillo110673
Very happy with this product that I missed so much
BeatrizDominguez
I wasn't very satisfied with this part because they put the bread on the bottom and it wrinkled a bit, and the expiration date is near, so it needs to be eaten quickly.
九九
Sandwiches are a great breakfast option; they're convenient and hygienic.
Scarlett
I put it at the bottom of the box as soon as I bought it, and it got crushed. Plus, it expires in four days. Would I dare buy it? No wonder it smelled awful even on sale.

Connie
If I could give zero points, I would. I have never encountered such terrible bread when buying things on Weee. There is no bread fragrance or sweetness, and the taste is very sticky! The whole family, young and old, gave a unanimous negative review. The rest can only be thrown away!
