I've found them to have good prices, but they are somewhat inept in
terms of taking/delivering orders.  Without fail, they would say
"sure we've got X in stock" and then I'd find out 3 days later that
it had to be ordered from their supplier.  On other occasions I
specified priority overnight shipping and had stuff shipped 2nd
day economy.  You'd think they'd be more careful to please someone
who spent $20k there in less than 3 weeks.  *shrug*
