The attention was pleasant and satisfactory which would not have any objection in using this tool again and I recommend it because my experience was of quailty
Being an elderly disabled Veteran, trying to live on a fixed income, I don't have much to spend on "extras", so every little bit helps, especially in today's economy.
I've only used ID.me a couple times, at Lowe's & Magpul, hoping to find more opportunities to make use of this valuable asset. Thank You for all you do to help the community.
