    Please stop. You're just making me jealous now. In all seriousness, what's driving me nuts is that they say they'll reply "by the end of the next business day", and there's NO resp…

    It's possible! Hadn't thought of that. What's most frustrating is that they don't even tell us that. If they did, maybe I would integrate it. But without being sure, it could be a …

    We had this issue as well. Out tens of thousands of dollars. For a tiny startup, this almost killed us.
