Got mine in a short time, 3-4 days after ordering.  I am happy with it.  I do not have pierced ears yet, hopefully in the future.  But I do have three other body piercings and as soon as I opened the product and CLEANED them I started stretching two of my piercings.  Since it costs about $25.00 to have a stretching done at a tattoo/piercing shop, the product pays for itself after one stretching done at home.  I recomend the purchase if you plan on doing multiple stretchings.  One recomendation to users (which should have been a no brainer to me), use some type of lubricant, even to go up one size.  I forced the taper into my piercing without lube and it was on the painful side (duh).  It might have been nice to have a small instructional pamphlet inside the zip lock bag it came in with "suggestions" on how to properly do it for first time users.  I later looked it up on line and found proper proceedures.  Oh well... live and learn.
