    Maybe if the really rude gentleman, who dismissed me before even hearing my concern because they didn’t service my address, would have listened to me, I would have my package right now. But unfortunately it won’t arrive until time for my flight tomorrow. I understand they might be understaffed, but that’s also not my problem.

    If you're willing to waste $200 on shipping expenses for a round trip, feel free to enjoy their less than zero service! A sir on 07/14 made me fill out the customs form 5 times, and on the fifth time he said it was good enough. Turns out a week after, my $200 package had a nice vacation to Florida before being delivered back to my door as rejected by customs. Came back today to a woman who not only cut me off during my explanations, but BLAMED ME for "not reading" when I had asked numerous times for help on filling the customs form. She supposedly asked management about reimbursing the $200 but "she already knew" they wouldn't do it. Please don't be me, don't give them free money, just go to UPS or Fedex. My heart hurts more than my wallet over being treated like this.
