[Chris Williams]

I have placed several orders with Futurlec and had no problems. Orders
arrived within the week and were as described.

I think the problem is that they often don't have stock in hand 
(and certainly not in the country you are ordering in!)
which can lead to delays. They aren't a ripoff, but can be verrrry slow.

And regarding Steve Daniels at Smallbear electronics, yes I am a happy
customer. When people in Australia ask the nearest place to get 3 pole
two way footswitches, i say "Smallbear in Brooklyn NY".
