    made many attempts to order on line, then I tried to call because I was having issues not on my part. couldn't get through with 5 attempts. wrote about 10 emails very hard to get things done through emails. could have been a 5 phone call to resolve. don't know if I will continue to purchase in future . phone was full of calls so I couldn't even leave a message. you did call me 2 times and I couldn't answer at the time.
