Land, sprog og valuta

  • Jeg har allerede fået min pakke og jeg havde lidt problemer da kureren ville levere det til min hjemmeadresse, da de hævder, at de ikke kan levere pakken til min postboks, som jeg ellers foretrak.
    Der er ikke altid nogen hjemme, så vi måtte sende pakken til mit kontor. Ingen problemer der.
    Jeg bad om de fire ekstra piller og de blev leveret indenfor et par dage med luftpost til min postboks.
    Jeg foreslår, at I adresserer denne del af jeres proces, da den ekstra omkostning er unødvendig. Inklusive alt i én pakke.
    Alt i alt god service. - Jan
