    During checkout, the module did not accept my card verification number until I refreshed the page. I placed the correct three digit number in multiple times and kept getting the error.

    Bonjour! C'est une première expérience d'achat chez Potomacbeads.com J'avoue que je suis ravie. J'ai même reçu un cadeau. Je ne m'attendais pas à ça!! C'est génial et je ne peux que remercier pour cette belle attention! J'ai reçu de très jolies pierres. Je les adore!! Comme je suis québécoise francophone, c'est un peu plus compliqué. Par contre, je n'ai que des bons mots pour POTOMACBEADS Merci pour votre professionnalisme . . . .
