Reputation and track record

Customer reviewsIt has a review page on Trustpilot

Trustindex, a review service, gathers this business's reviews from Facebook, Google and Trustindex on one page, and its reviews are counted like any other review site's, less as many as we already count on a site we read on its own. A business can claim its page there to collect reviews and reply to them, and which review sites are included differs from one business to the next.
