See, there was a time when the vast majority of Americans were of English/British decent. Sorry about your ancestors being chased out/driven/deported from the UK..................but it does prove one thing...............we are not that racist as everyone in the EU in Brussels says and thinks........................................ .....................................only joshing.

Hell, who am I to talk anyways, my ancestors were all immigrants from the most persecuted race on earth.

On the subject of your business and spares, if, as you say, the work that goes into your LR spares business is that thorough you should be commended not castigated for it I have no personal experience 'cos I live in Europe but I'm sure you have many returning and satisfied customers. I wish some of the outlets in the UK were more like that. As for France, 'I won't even go there' as customer service is an unheard of concept here, hence I source decent spares and tools from the UK, USA and Ireland and cheap, twinky non essentials from the far east. Even they have their place in the electronics technology supply chain as long as you don't need to rely on those parts too much.

Thanks

It's not my company but I work for it, and will stand behind it any day of the week. If I don't like the company I work for, I wouldn't be on the forums supporting it while not being paid

ZGPhoto.
I absolutely agree with you. I think you do an excellent job and I'd like to support you.

But when it comes to shipping to Canada, you completely loose me. I tried to order 6 plastic scrivets from you a while back. Six plastic envelopes with a tiny plastic piece in each. This was my shipping quote:
USPS Priority mail $35.00 2-5 days
UPS ground $25.002.4 days
FedX economy $60.00 1-2 days


$35 to $60 is just too high. I ended up getting them from Craddock shipped for £5.

Now, back to those ladyboys… Now where do I go again? Just asking for a friend…

I hear you, and I appreciate the input.

That is exactly what Justin at L8 and I were talking about when he saw this thread. We just can't come close to competing with the UK when it comes to Canada. I have no clue why it's so difficult(we can't even ship shock absorbers up there!) to ship items to Canada, and WE'RE CONNECTED!!

It is truly a nightmare, and I cannot offer any explanation as to why that is.

But thank you for supporting us when it's economical!

Commendable attitude ZGP. I wish there were far more people like you in the world of business rather than the takers and cruisers who just turn up everyday for the minimum set hours and take what they can for free.
