              08/31/2021

              Ordered a gift card on the website over 10 days ago and I still haven't received. Website shows it has been processing for 10 days. I have tried to reach someone by email, never received a reply. I have tried calling on multiple times and have left multiple messages. When I did talk to someone they keep telling me that person is not in and try again later. I can't get any answers from these people. Terrible customer service!
