recent purchase and advice 10/22/2020
By Kenneth Howe
Hi,
Considering everything about this virus and how it effects everyone, I believe that the Beverage People are doing the best. I received what I ordered on two occasions and everything went smoothly. Likewise good advice was given via email on two of my questions.
So for me I am very happy with their service. I personally feel that most of us need a little help with patience. We have been spoiled in the past, and now we are learning patience including me. And that is a good thing.
