Not professional, fake support, technically weak
I ordered a conversion from a PSD to email HTML. At checkout time there were many options offered (too many for my taste, as they should have been included in the initial fee) but none about Retina compatibility (a simple and standard feature that uses @2x resolution images with a fixed half width). After the order was made I saw that the order page showed “Retina Display Compatibility: No”. I then wrote support who answered with a stock photo profile image and a fake name "Sharon" based on their proficiency in English. They said Retina was not an option for emails, and that no one ever asked them for this before. I told them I knew it was technically possible, even sent a link to an article on Litmus, and they asked me to wait several hours so that the technical team would see if it would be possible. The whole experience made me feel uneasy and, knowing that their offices in India were not open yet at that time, I asked for my order to be cancelled and refunded, and that no work should be made. The support agent said they would forward my request to accounting. Despite that, the next day I saw that they hadn't refunded me, that they hadn't cancelled my order and I actually received an email saying they worked on my request, asking me to check their work, and saying the refund would only once I remove my review on Trustpilot which sounded shady. Being unhappy with the situation, I went back to the online chat with support. This time a Victor Archer quickly took over, still with a fake photo (different from the one linked to in one of the other reviews here), and he still asked me to wait for the refund, that was supposedly sent to "management" and it would take time. As I understood they were stalling, instead I opened a complaint on PayPal and provided all the details of how they willingly ignored the cancellation request I made ten minutes after the order and how they started work instead the next day. Knowing that PayPal would rule in my favor, they finally did the full refund. It took one minute after I opened the complaint. I guess it did not require going through several upper management layers after all… Even the way this refund was made shows how they are playing mind games with the customer and do not look very honest.
