The shipping took a week and two days, the bricks were tightly but sensible enough packed and the price/piece ratio is great. Only the manual took some unneccesary damage, even if it was still usable.
Jiestar bricks are all in all good/very good with few pieces being on the cheap looking side and paint flaws only catching the eye after pendatic examintation.
The building process was a mixed bag, setting up the base plate was rather unfun for example and some of the pieces leave only a small margin for inaccuracy but overall I had my fun and with each of the non-baseplate sections. Each giving small victories as the castle come together.
