- ADArden Amber Sylvia DesormeauOct 20, 20255.0Mrs Charisse was very helpful and really kind to me.
- MOMaria OisheeOct 12, 20254.0A working staff member gave such clear and detailed instructions on how to package the parcel,from labeling the box with necessary information to taping it securely. After preparing it, they double checked all the details and quickly sealed it, making it ready to send. I was truly amazed by how efficiently the whole process was completed. Also, I really liked their collection of gift cards and greeting cards.
