All of my hampers were then delivered to all the recipients write on schedule. Two thumbs up to you.

This holiday season my company had over 50 recipients in all parts of Europe and Canada, I worked with Alyssa Bell on this order, and I have to say the communication was absolutely on point at all times. She made sure we were a part of the process every step of the way, and our clients were so happy with their baskets. Thank you, Alyssa, for making our experience here at Segpay great! We will not use anyone else going forward for our overseas clients other than this company!
