I wonder if Melco is running into financial problems-to explain the big XT 'tradeup'...with shipping almost next day after an order, sounds like they have a warehouse full of them! As for Madeira...we have been using them for several years since the US headquarters is less than 2 hours away-and not had any problems with the poly thread, backings, etc. And there is a way to get an english speaking salesperson-ask to get an account rep (or whatever they call them) that is your 'assigned' salesperson. We have no problems at all and can call in an order, and pick it up the next day or they ship it the same or next day! I'm not putting down other suppliers-just never had to deal with any others! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
