Decent price (comparable to anything I found) and shipped quicklly and arrived fine. Even came with an unexpected inflatable ball, almost like they knew what it was for.
I ordered this hard-to -find breaker to supply power for an EV charger outlet in my garage. SuperBreakers delivered the brand new item I needed promptly and at a good price - very satisfied with this purchase.
