You used to live in Indonesia? Cool.

I think everyone has already made it very clear. It's obvious the guy was trying the low class tactic of bad mouthing the competition. I tend to go ahead and go to the competition when some dolt does that. As for Dennis Kirk, like all have said there is no problem with them. I have spent a lot of $$$ with them over the years and never had an issue. Their site is great because it shows you current inventory. They carry good stuff. And their return policy is good. In fact one time I bought, amongst other items, a tire from them. After I got it, I decided I wanted a different size. Simply put it back in the box and slapped the Fed Ex label they provided on it, and I was done. Generally they charge something like $6.95 S/H + $5.00 on tires. Unless total is over $100, then no shipping except the tire charge. So, if you have to return, you just eat the $6.95.

Back in the eaely 90's, I bought a lot of "junk" from Dennis Kirk. I thought their junk was just as good as everyone else's junk . Never had any problems with "IT" or D.K.!
