STAY AWAY FROM THIS FRAUD

Forest Shipping: How Does It Work?
★☆☆☆☆
For the love of god, STAY AWAY FROM THIS. Don't fall into their traps. At first, the customer service was good and they reply to you fast. BUT after they got your money, everything was like hell. They have switched my products and shipped them to the wrong addresses. NOT ONLY THAT, I paid for 3-5 days but it ended up being almost 2 weeks!! They don't care about customers at all! I repeat, STAY AWAY!! Especially from these people: Forest Zhang, Kate or 林锋, and Diane. To Forest Shipping: if you see this, PLEASE REPLY ASAP. You know well who I am.
