Yup they're in Denver. @SnapDragon NY thanks for your review. There are lots of smaller but very reliable vendors out there, it's just hard to know who. That's why I love this thread. I don't think there's a single product or source out there that someone in this thread doesn't know about.
Sure no problem- I am glad to help out when I can. For the most part I have been pretty lucky with the vendors I have used. In 5 years of purchasing gear I had trouble with 2 vendors, both were US vendors too- did a charge back for one to get my money back and had to file and I won a paypal dispute with another. Both are not selling online any more.
