Our Experience
Considering the customer service hotline is an international number, we had to rely on contacting the customer service team by email and social media. We have to note we received the fastest response when we contacted the customer service team through social media. We reached out to the customer service department through twitter and received a response in approximately three (3) minutes. This is a timely response, considering there were several other customer concerns posted on the Twitter page. The customer service levels were high and the response time was ideal. We have to say the overall experience was better than expected. Thoughts? Take a moment to comment below.
