You really only find out about good service when something goes wrong!
After an initial glitch in not receiving an email following an enquiry (might have been my end!!), once I was connected with Shann it was very good service. She offered many options and was very attentive and polite. We had a few issues arranging payment with my credit card caused by my bank but Shann patiently offered help and options until it all went through. Very happy with the service.
