One post, no profile, never been back. Well I think that about winds it up, Samarino7 . BTW, if you read between the lines of the extremely diplomatic and politically correct reply by Dive Rite it says. Take a hike you moron.

Never had a problem with DRIS, and i was a "potential problem"with my billing address in France, and delivery in Peru .Thanks DRIS for your excellent service, always a another new light to buy....
WAIT a minute... That's IT! The OP was Mike's sock puppet...!
A false flag operation. Well played, Mike...
I've never ordered from DRIS, but I guess I need to go check out the website. Sounds like a stand-up company...
DRIS was one of the first on line shops I bought from after I discovered that you could even buy gear on line. My LDS at the time was very careful to keep that fact well hidden.
I got my first set of HOG regs from them and have made numerous purchases since. Even though I am now an on line retailer and could consider them as competition, I choose not to. I choose to see them as a viable, fair, and honest resource for the items that some of my customers want that I don't carry.
So from time to time I refer them to Mike and Rod. I even referred my girl friend to them for an item that I don't normally carry and though I could get it it would have taken too long. I've also had a number of conversations with them in person. At DEMA and BTS. Had dinner with them as well. You can tell a lot about people by the way they eat and they do pretty good at not looking like animals. Even when half starved after dealing with tons of questions all day long.
Seriously though, they are some good people and their tech at the time was my HOG reg instructor and instructor trainer. Going to miss seeing them at DEMA this year as I'm not going. But may hook up at BTS in the spring.
As for the OP, I get some emails that I just look at and delete. The ones I like best are the ones that say "Hello, we would like to place a large order with you. Do you ship to Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.? What credit cards do you take? Please email reply with your website so we can do business!"
The answer is yes, I do ship to those places. When I know who I'm shipping to and have verified the identity of the person. I take MC/VISA/AMEX/Discover. But not when you don't even know what you want because you don't even know what I sell! In those cases I accept only gold, silver, and precious gems delivered by courier in advance.
But when a shipping address is not tied to the billing address, the card is in the name of another person, or you are not willing to provide a little info I can verify I'd rather lose the sale than get hit for a big loss.

This is going to be a very very long thread if everyone who believes DRIS is an excellent supplier chimes in... which includes me.
