Staff are friendly and helpful. Just make sure you check your order. They are human, so they make mistakes sometimes.

Report
Called in and Spoke to Tracy regarding a replacement board for our Emergency lighting. She was very helpful and kind. Took all my information and credit card details, and even called her Scarborough Office to make sure they had the board in stock. I highly recommend this company, and will be ordering from them in the future.
