divers beware,

i recently sent in my drysuit to have the neoprene neck and wrist 
seals replaced with latex seals.  i called DUDAS' DIVING DUDS and 
was quoted $40 for labor and $40 for the seals.  sounded okay, so 
i sent it in.  when i got the bill, guess what -- it was $130.  
for $130, i would not have bothered.  i would have put the money 
in a cookie jar to get my tls-350.  kind of ironic that it 
happened right after she told me she was having cash flow 
problems.  when i called, of course they told me that $80 was 
only for wrist of neck, but not both.  they claimed i 
misunderstood.  bullshit.  i understood perfectly.  they 
basically fucked me.  this is not the first time they did this.  
when i asked for a price for an aladin pro battery kit, i was 
told $30.  when it arrived, it was $35.  for $5, i wasn't going 
to sweat it.  for $50, i am pissed.  basically, my recommendation 
is to not send her any business.  i have sent her a bunch of 
business and was disappointed that she fucked me.  if you decide 
you must send work to her, ask for a signed quote before you give 
them your gear.
