Customer Service really helped

I had some trouble initially working through the PieVAT software, but one of their Customer Service people, Maggie, gave excellent advice. With that input, the application process was fast and efficient.

One disappointing thing I learned was that not all the merchants I used were part of this system. I hope more shops learn how this system simplifies the process for their customers.

This was my first tax reclaim

This was my first tax reclaim. Purchased items in Norway and the retailer explained everything very clearly and gave link to pie app. Uploaded everything required and every step was very clear and logical. I did manage to forget an image (2 products on same receipt) and Maggie from Pie reached out within hours to help rectify. All approved immediately and funds on their way. Very impressed with what I believed would be a very drawn our painful process. Thank you for a great experience
