Recruited everyone I could, built a relationship with the taxi drivers. But we do not need cars, and trucks, which in a few.”
As he noted, buyers accustomed to the regime of self-isolation. So all we are waiting for delivery to your door. When this difficulty with contactless payment. The courier from your device is ready to send the customer a payment link, but half the people push-button phones, and they just can’t use the virtual service.

And only the intervention of Federal agencies and of industry and trade helps to overcome created on the ground of excessive artificial barriers.
