When we began with them we spent nearly 2.5 hours in various phone conversations to both make sure they could meet our needs and then working to connect their service to our sites.
As we are sending daily we required a more robust package which they were happy to set us up with.
Issues began from day 1. Our open rates with an optin list sending highly relevant content were almost all under 9%. Most in the 5% ranges.
This, at least for me (having well over 126k subscribers with another provider since 2004) was unheard of. It turns out they are unable to pass DMARK.
Beyond that, we discovered nearly weekly “overage” charges that should not have been associated with the plan they had put us on. When we contacted them they flat out refused to reverse them & insisted we have another call to upgrade to the service we had been told we were already paying for.
Many other issues also exist: 2x and 4x repeat sends to the subscribers and a dash that indicates our list is 25% larger than it is.
