Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID *** and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.Great Call's customer service caused additional shipping costs to me*** charged extra fees over the actual package shipping cost because Great Call provided me a PO box number for the RMA rather than the physical addressThose extra fees were to track down the actual business locationGreat Call stating that shipping costs are not their issue is incorrectThe unwillingness to provide a modest credit for the cost of their own error is indicative of a poor customer service model
