I have found everyone in the company…

I have found everyone in the company that I’ve dealt with as exemplary. Especially when I’ve had to get used to a new way of paying (prepay) or when my computer wasn’t sending as it should( Bhumika was excellent in the way she calmly and logically worked on the process with me, please thank her). Best wishes to all the team.
