Fred, FL

"I was, and maybe I still am one of the featured Avalara recommendations that they've had in their promotional literature. So I have nothing but good things to say about them. Our company doesn't sell retail now so we don't need the Avalara services, but if we do again, I'll be back. Fred Burckbuchler Nature's Earth Products, Inc. WPB FL"
