This is case-sensitive like a password... [email protected] does not equal [email protected]. and 2) Duplicate posts are usually deleted. This question was asked in your other thread here.

dont know what verified customer badge is, i was told might be better to post in this thread, ill delete the other thanks

ah thank you so much, i also tried deleting my older post in the other thread but wouldnt let me, would you be able to help me with that? also my email seems to be correct and still doesnt show verified for some reason (nvm, seems like it was case sensitive and i just reverified, all good on the verified customer tag, thank you)
