It was very difficult to find out that Amazon options were available or have any questions answered about these products. The number of choices is limited and if something needs to be returned it's somewhat complicated. There is no phone number to speak...

The notifications get pushed down quickly when I'm checking them or if I want to find a specific birthday for an agent, it's hard to search.
