Very poor customer service, I called to see about pick up methods if I had the right paperwork. They treated me like I was up to something criminal or nefarious practically due to a recent name change, I have the necessary paperwork and mail. I just wanted to order my item. I didn't even get to finish my sentence, they just decided not to do business and I've done nothing sketchy.
