Jul 15, 2018 Report
I called the number available and left a message with my question, name, and phone number. I also used the contact page on their site and asked the same question left my email, name, and phone number. It's been more than 5 business days since the contact page, and 4 days since the phone call. NOTHING. No call back, no email, not even a damn text saying they can't help me. They just have ignored me.

I'm shocked and confused. Also, just a side note, on their site the picture for their general manager is of a boy who looks very young and took the picture using his cell phone in a mirror. Poor quality
