In all cases service has been very good, easy communication and good follow up.
Some of these web only stores are potentially very damaging to our hobby as well as to the stores that look after us IMHO. Even places like Aust Geographic I am very wary of as they are overpriced and not knowledgeable.
I think it is important to support the specialists, as without them our hobby is in trouble!

100% agree with Malcolm. Unfortunately there are questionable retailers on the net in every field of interest.
I know for a fact that there are IIS members here. who are moderators of that "other forum" mentioned in earlier posts.
