Great products. Horrible shipping and customer service. Orders shouldn’t take 10 days to process. Also I complete this survey and get a promo code that is not valid. No more free shipping and we spend a lot of $$ every year. Also haven’t got any points for the last several orders..

The color was a bit different from what I had left over last year. Is this a dye you add to it?
