Please note, the first request for every user inquiry will require admin approval. We do this to limit spam and clogging up our vendor inboxes. Once the first request is approved, vendors and users will be able to communicate without any admin approvals.
Laundry Items:
Please note, everytime you make a change to your profile or services your account goes on hold. This means that your account is hidden until those changes have been approved. We do this to ensure that potential clients are not seeing incorrect information while your changes are in the approval process.
Remember every time your account has been approved for changes you will receive an email and see the status change applied to your dashboard. So please monitor your account for approval. If changes have not been applied and you don’t see your dashboard status change within 5 business days please let us know at info@saukah.com.
