    This survey is about as smooth and user‑friendly as your website—meaning it’s almost great, except for the part where it isn’t. I hit one snag that really needs fixing. I’m a 74‑year‑old man with one 16‑year‑old granddaughter, courtesy of my oldest son who’s 50 and my youngest who’s 43. Now, unless your dropdown menu includes a category labeled “Human Being With a Family,” I have absolutely no idea which box I’m supposed to check. So tell me—what category does a guy like me fall into? Because your survey sure doesn’t seem to know.

    Double ordered by accident, called to return and was told that you could supply me with a return label (positive). When I called the following week to get the return label I was TOLD that was not your policy and it is clearly stated on your policy. Ok I get it, I made the mistake, I am 80 years old, a 100% disabled Vet enjoying a new hobby and will not return the item $44.00 for credit and pay $28.00 shipping to do so.
