I received the battery after a little over a week, and it did not come as described. The battery did not come in original retail package, but rather in a plain manila envelope without padding and had a battery sized plastic sleeve, but was not even inside the sleeve. The battery seems to be in good condition, (more than 10x the life of my previous battery which was on its last leg) and is worth the price. As I said, the package was not as described, but other than that, was a good buy.
