LAPD is tops in my book!
I just have to chime in here...
Now, I don't know if LAPD is a prefered vendor here, but I believe they fun a first-class operation there. I ordered a Ripper shifter through a Group Purchase over at the other forum, and it was kicked to LAPD. I promptly got an email from them saying thanks for using them, and that they were sending out the Ripper "next day" at no extra charge.
Now, I don't know what the circumstances were that prompted them to send this to me with no extra charge for the next day air, and I'm not suggesting that they do or should do this often, but man, I felt really special, and well attended-to. The Ripper DID, in fact, show up the next day, and I couldn't have been happier.
So, if this kind of treatment is par for the course with these guys, you all should support them. They seem to be good people with a great business accumen!
