I bought my 12" Dob from Andrews' Comms, and it arrived very promptly and in excellent condition. You will need a long cheshire sight tube to collimate, but I find mine stays fairly well collimated.
If you're looking for after sales service rather than the best price, then perhaps Bintel might be a better bet. From personal experience, I found all the information I needed was either provided by the members of this forum, or links steering me in the right direction were given. This made it unnecessary for me to rely on the supplier of 'scope for such advice and/or service. I'm not bagging Andrews' by any means. Their service was great, and I got a right angled finder instead of the straight through type I was expecting. Bonus!!!
I just didn't need any help from them once the deal was done, except to purchase some other odds and ends.
And 'yes', the 12" Dob from Andrews' Comms is a good'un.
Good luck.
