Why People Like You Chose Powermax
Just wanted to say "Thanks Again" for taking care of me on this order. Anyway - I'm a happy camper. Just wanted you to know!
- Peace and Blessings,
- Makawao, HI
BIG kudos to your company for shipping to APOs. I love Apple and all their products, but their lack of support to Service Members deployed and stationed overseas has been a sore point with me for a long time!!! It is refreshing to find a company that understands that Soldiers in Iraq (and Afghanistan, and Germany, and Japan, etc.) deserve easy access to Macs as well as anyone else.
- Thank you for your help.
- Balad, Iraq
I received the display and the last tablet today, thank you. Your service has been great; I appreciate you taking an interest in my new business, and will certainly have more purchase orders for you in the future.
- Best,
- San Rafael, CA
