I contacted them via email just to ask about prices, since their website was in the process of being switched around. Got a response back within 3 minutes. I placed my order the next night, PayPal'd away and off we went.
I ordered the 1-60 + free 1-60 RAF package for $66, leveling a shaman and a warlock. Left 200g on the shaman, per instructions.
Day 1: Leveler started within an hour of my sending payment, and I went to bed.
Day 2: The leveler had both of them up to about 17 (I don't recall exactly), but my second account got a weird lock on it because of a failed trial upgrade the day before.
Day 3: I called Blizzard and got the lock sorted out. I let xmanlevel know, and he confirmed.
Day 4: Checked in with them since I hadn't seen any movement since the lock was cleared, and they indicated they were going to wait a day or so for safety. No problem, I had told him early on I wasn't in a hurry.
Day 5: Checked in again, didn't see any movement. Asked if I could upgrade the 1-60 to 1-70 on the shaman, which was no problem. Sent him $50 extra for the difference, and later that day I saw them leveling again.
Day 8: Shaman and warlock both hit 60. I contacted xmanlevel via MSN to see if the leveler was 'done' with the warlock, and to make sure the shaman was going to keep going to 70. Went to bed before hearing back, but saw the next day he said to wait a few hours before logging in, no problem.
Day 10: I got busy doing other stuff, and didn't check back in until day 10. I checked and saw the shaman hadn't moved, so I sent xmanlevel an email to make sure everything was okay. Hit him up on MSN that night, and he talked to the leveler and got him going right away. I think there might have been an English miscommunication about what I wanted done when I Paypal'd the extra money, but it cleared up quickly. If I had followed up back on day 8, I'm sure it would've been sorted sooner. Anyway, the leveler hopped on within minutes and started up on the shaman again.
Day 11: Shaman is up to 63, despite patch day.
Day 12: Shaman is up to 65.
Day 13: Shaman is 67, but I only checked once.
Day 14: Shaman is 70.
Overall, I'm very pleased with how it went. It seems like they level with a good mixture of grinding and questing, which is nice. There was a bit of a bump with the account lock (not their fault) and the 1-70 upgrade mixup (I could've gotten it sorted faster if I'd been worried), but otherwise it was very easy.
