	While I'm not one to badmouth suppliers, I and a number of other people I 
know have had such an appalling customer experience from them that we will not 
be using them again.

	Dabs appear to be fine right up until the point at which anything in your 
order goes wrong (be it non-delivery, late delivery, faulty components 
delivered, the wrong order delivered to you, etc.) After that point, the 
general consensus appears to be that you should not expect to see either your 
order, your money, or manage to speak to a human on the phone for a long time.

	Best regards,
