My canisters arrived in a reasonable time period. I was away on vacation at the time and had to wait a couple weeks to unpack and start using them. I was glad to see that it was the right red for my kitchen. The only negative was with the plastic seal on each of the lids. They were all loose, instead of being snug in place around the rim. That made it look a little "cheap." And I also worry that the seal may not keep my items air tight fresh. Time will tell on that.
