Report
Trade Services (Trimble) is a very shady company. They send out an invoice (or a Courtesy Notice as they call it) a long time before your renewal is due with a price of $1,864.50 so you pay it way in advance of your expiry and then they send another invoice for $1,939.08 saying that you owe $74.58. This is so wrong. How can they send you a notice of what it will cost to continue with their product and after you pay, decide they want to charge you more. I would put minus one star but you have to put at least one or you cannot post - I just noticed it shows 5 Star. Untrustworthy to say the least.
