Trad gear- WCW, soap national, wintecs.  Good prices, good service/delivery

Resin- DAQUA. best resin, best price, best delivery.

WFP- Gardiners. Best poles, best brushes, I trust them & have total faith in their products.

For Waterfed Poles - http://www.exelcomposites.com/

Just looking at setting up an online shop, similar to the one I run in Bulgaria www.ionicsystemsbulgaria.com

I might set one up in the South East somewhere, where do you all think is a good place?

I had a problem with Gardiners where the lass who took an order for a pole I needed asap didn't take all the card info and took 3 days to get in touch and get it so I was unable to work for a further 3 days.

I don't however hold it against them because it was a mistake I'm sure they would not of made on purpose.

We all make them and if every one was a little more understanding we would all live in harmony.

If your supply could improve its service in anyway what would you want them to do and why?

What items can you not get from your supplier that you use for work and have to get elsewhere?

I use various suppliers mainly because of the price difference or quality of the goods.

I do not mind suppliers making a profit but some do take the mick.
