Review by Julia on 9 Jun 2025review stating Great service and came quickly.
Very pleasantly surprised at how caring the workers were with helping me. I had a question about my order, and an associate was very helpful and kind. My shipment came surprisingly quick. As it is the start of my law school journey, I will continue to order from here.
