  • Great product & Service

    I run an Australian website but I would say that I'm not that tech savy so I paid a little extra for these guys to install the extension for me. All went smoothly and was up and running in no time. I had a small issue with the free shipping rules that I had set up. I offer free shipping on orders over $200 but the customer was able to select express shipping; when I just wanted free shipping to apply to standard shipping rates. These guys fixed it quickly on the same day I emailed them. Amazing service!
