A month is a long time, when you are waiting for something, but for goods being shopped across an ocean and a border, it is nothing. When a dealer gets a non-delivery complaint after so short a time, he's got two choices - mail a replacement (knowing full well that the first one will probably arrive in another week or two) and eat the cost, or stall the customer to give the stuff time to arrive. Lately we've seen two vendors here flamed on the basis of an order that didn't arrive as soon as the recipient would like. I haven't bought from Stewart yet (though am going to). But John we all know has built a business supplying divers all over with a lot of hard-to-find stuff, essential stuff we used to have to drive to FL to find, and at good prices. It's not going to do the community any good to drive him out of business, on the basis of so little. I'm all for branding net rip-offs, but think, in fairness to those involved, one should hesitate to proclaim anyone such on the basis of one experience, that is far from being concluded. By all means post, if you are concerned, but you might want to be a little more circumspect if you don't want to look like a fool - for example, you might do better to post something along the lines of "I ordered from xx and haven't gotten my goods and I wonder if anyone else has had trouble with him?" rather than jumping right in with DON"T BY FROM THIS SCUM. BTW, the really funny thing about your post is how, after flaming John, you list Leisure Pro as reliable. There's another business on your list that will raise a few eyebrows - the fact is, you just don't have enough experience with this biz to be delivering judgements. >I advise everyone reading this message not to do business with John Allen >(a.k.a.
