The shipping was fast- I believe it was at my door 5 days from when I placed the order.
As for the katana, the Saya is plastic and the blade is aluminum, making it extremely light weight and easy to wield. I've only had it for a day and done some basic drawing/drills with it. Admittedly I am concerned about how it will hold up to even light contact, so time will tell.
For now I am happy with it, but the price does seem high for a practice weapon (based on the plethora of "sharp" edged, and probably poor quality, weapons I could have gotten for a fraction of the price). If I can get a couple years of use out of it, I'd say it was worth it.

Handmade Aluminum Blade Blunt Unsharpened Practice Katana For Beginner Training

First, I was surprised at how fast it came, less than a week. The wood is rich in color, very smooth, excellent quality. The steel is a little thicker than some of my katanas, but its excellent steel, forged very well with an obvious harmon, very sharp. An excellent wakizashi, especially at this price point.
