Great customer service. Enjoyed the experience. It was quick and to the point. Glad this avenue was available. I have a favorite big box store and at times I will not visit until it is absolutely necessary. Long checkout lines or not enough cashiers for the volume of customers at certain times of the day. This experience was exceptional.
It clearly helps you with business and employment...
P. S thank you IDME you have been very helpful to my life.
I was really amazed that this process was so simple. I started trying to verify my military affiliation last year, but had computer issues going on and just did not get around to it. If I had only known how simple this was, I would have done it a long time ago.
