No stealth, handwritten address with no return address. Not a big issue for domestic shipping but would be preferred for bulk orders to have some stealth and a professional look to avoid suspicion or problems with automated sorting. It arrived though - good enough for me. Took ~3 days to arrive, probably RM delay. A pricey sample at £8, but not the biggest of deals.
The note is indistinguishable from a real note. Every feature is present (Raised print, UV, magnetic strip, hologram, watermark, paper feel/thickness, microlettering, print quality). Biggest surprise is the micro lettering, which I have never seen in a counterfeit note before. Additionally, the hologram is flawless; again I've never really seen it pulled off, most just use some foil tricks. However, that said, the Chinese are gods for copying holograms, so this is likely an import.
Now, this may just be a real note, I sure would never be able to tell and I've had forensic counterfeit training. Only magnetic inks would be able to sufficiently differentiate, but I don't plan on testing that. If this turns out to be legit and the vendor sticks around after bulk orders, this is a completely unbeatable note. Definitely the best counterfeit I have ever seen and I have sampled several high quality £20 and £10s. Looks very promising, I hope he gets onto some more popular markets and things continue to run smoothly.
Here are some photos. I'm rather chuffed I managed to get some really good quality pictures of the microlettering! You can't see the microlettering with the human eye and probably require x6-10 magnification, it really is tiny. Some rather big pictures up ahead, but should really help show the flawless quality:
Microlettering - very fine print
I'm not going to purchase a bulk lot until my previous order has been honoured, but if everything runs smoothly I imagine I'll gladly invest a lot more.
Feel free to ask questions, I don't think there is much to answer. Remember to look at some of the previous reviews too: First Second Third

This is fake. He made an account with the exact same name on nucleus 5 months ago and scanned everyone. I think his name is still on nucleus if you type it in the search bar so u can see all his reviews
