Small or big amount don't spare them ,please.." [SIC], he said.

One person revealed that they never accepted online payment and wrote- "I've ordered from there livingliquidz.com website multiple times. At least for my area, they've never accepted payment online, even if you select digital options. they send a CC machine with the delivery guy.
