• It is easy to be happy with an experience if everything goes in your favor, but the trick is keeping the customer happy when things go wrong. I am VERY pleased with the customer service offered by Melissa and Jodi when my order got lost in the mail. A replacement was sent out and I received the product just a week and a half after alerting House of Names about the lost item. The Surname History that I ordered was very intriguing and interesting, and has prompted new insight in my pursuit of my ancestors. This is the type of customer service that brings people back for more. Thank you so much! (PH)
