Very difficult to maneuver for online…

Very difficult to maneuver for online purchase a product. Email verification doesn’t work. It takes a full day for your emails to come through. Why not use text like other companies do? Text come through almost immediately. Purchasing. a product that requires something called “keys” to make it work, yet was never mentioned during the purchase attempts seems strange. Your representatives responded. like this is just normal way of doing business. That’s not my kind of business.
