Diane, Feb 2024

The customer service could be better at the store. And they overcharged us over $50. They explained it was the basic charge and it will go down but it's been 4 days already and still too high. I've already called them twice. So I have to call them again. You have to go through a lot of automation on the phone before you can even ask for customer service.
