    Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

    Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
