I accidentally made two payments for the same translation on the same day. When I realized, I…read morecalled immediately to cancel it and to request a refund, that did not happen, spending around 30 minutes waiting for someone to take care of me and it did not happen. I emailed instead because the order was marked as urgent. The following day instead of a refund, I was offered an additional translation with a special discount. As a result, the discount was unnoticeable, I had to pay for almost the whole service and I was not satisfied because the new order was not needed at all, and the only purpose was not to lose all my money. Letting you all know my experience because even though they did good with my document, they should be more careful handling the customer's money.
