Hello becyn, Have not had any big problems, but have noticed the shipping time for "INVENTORY AVAILABLE IN MARYLAND AND FLORIDA" and "FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT" has been taking over a week on some items. I could understand comming from FL, with the weather and all, but I was just thinking everyone was on vacation. (Just like the people who put in prices on Sony ESI website. I think they are using a random number generator now. Seems to be free or outragous. Yesterdays prices where a belt for $251.65 and a 1000uF 200v cap for $15,417.17 But SPAN does show correct pricing.) Just my 2 cents. Thanx, Scott Beebe Ohm Electronics Inc. 609 W.
