RE: Dealer ethics
I doubt distance has anything to do with it, some are just more fortunate than others when it comes to shipping, customer service and so on. Some will receive their items lightning fast when other will get snail mail..[&o] some will get great customer service when others want to choke the person on the line! Been there!! What's needed is to know what companies seem to care less about the consumer and those who care the most! Who causes the most grief in their transactions and those who are supportive.
I personally want to know who's worth my hard earned money and avoid those that aren't! Unfortunately some will suffer like a lot of us have already but due to those few, we'll figure out the pain in the ***** venders and those deserving.
