“——I certainly hope they're better than those who don't use itCSBA people can better achieve this. Every time I make a claim for damaged goods, I receive a penny, which together is rarely enough to cover the return shipping fees I am forced to pay. This is a joke, no matter how much evidence I provide, all appeals will be rejected;
