Yep same crappy website! Sorry Andrews but I would have bought much more stuff off you if you actually displayed more items that you stock and had decent navigation.

Yep, working OK for me too.

I agree about the site, though. Could do with a little spit and polish

It's not that bad. I like the fact that each page shows the date last updated. When you're in the mood for shopping it's fun to try to figure out what changed since yesterday!

I sent them an equipment query several weeks ago, and never heard back. Maybe there're glitches for some preventing some access?

Works for me, the site navigation isn't to bad, though it could do with an upgrade.

Thank you all, Sorry guys false alarm, was using a US dns service and i think for some reason they cant resolve andrewscom.com.au. Got it sorted for now by switching to my ISP dns servers. Will have to contact the us mob to see why andrewscom is not resolving.

I'm in NZ so maybe beyond their boundaries of operation. I've not heard anything bad about them so I'll check the message went properly. Is all good. Glad to hear you got your problem sorted Netwolf.

Not at all - here's what their website says about NZ customers:

"We continually export to New Zealand and many other countries and, in fact, also sell our goods in New Zealand personally by regularly visiting field days there! We also have a truly outstanding New Zealand agent, ensuring our New Zealand customers enjoy excellent product support. We offer genuinely friendly and helpful service to all!"

Cheers for that Michael. I checked my message to them, definately sent. Good to know they service NZ though. (Not said facetiously! I expect there's some simple foul-up.)
