Your chatbot is out of control irritating. If I close it, I don't need it. Instead it kept coming back constantly. Your checkout is horrendous. It would not allow submission with a shipping and a card address.

Having to go to a private window just to complete a transaction because of a cache issue in the year 2024 is asinine. Shell out the money to get a web developer that can bring the site to this century I beg you, productions spend thousands of dollars at your site and that should be reflected in the quality of the site. I am not asking for the website to order me a coffee, but not being a web1.0 site really shouldnt be a massive stride.

My experience with Travis was excellent. When he was not available the service was an issue. He was out sick and I called three times to have a quote updated and was not able to talk to anyone. When Travis returned to work he took care of the issues and the order was completed.

Can Do For You
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
