### 1/5 — ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! You shouldn’t handle government business

*2024-03-07*

One is returning the phone call or Replying emails. I won the auction on March 5th. Supposed to receive an email in 48 hrs or telling me I have the winning bid. It has been 3 days. still no response. I have left a message, sent emails and NO RESPONSE!!
