I'm not dense, I just know what I'm talking about.

That is fine if they have good stuff in their sale section. Most mail orders do, though. Nothing out of the ordinary. I have considered ordering from dans for a few close out items, actually I think I ordered my last set of valleylys (sp?) from them. Sometimes you can't help it.

Obviously Todd couldn't straight say who was complaining, but he did point out that it wasn't any of the suppliers. They still got paid their amount, albes just wasn't pocketing as much. He pointed out it was mostly because of other retailers (dans was a large suspect but like i said, he wasnt liable to say) complaining.

how did it not adress anything? Myself, and all my friends used to order from dans. It is very appealing at first. But the more you dig into it and learn about the other companies available, the less you are drawn to dans and more towards other companies. Orders, like you said, are very spread out, and are somewhat regional. I don't see how it is really a legitimate argument. Kids just need to think about where their money is going.

I understand what he's got to say fully. If I had to order something I'd definetly go elsewhere to albes or empire, not dans. But if there was something I could only get at dans I still would. Danscomp is like the walmart of BMX

No. Last time I checked, Dans wasn't demanding that companies lower their QC or create inferior products to meet their price demands, or putting up huge stores all over the country and killing smaller businesses, or hiring hundreds of illegal immigrants.

Sure they're bigger than the other ones, and they put out a catalog, but as online/mail-order retailers go they're still pretty small and personal. You know, compared to Amazon, B&H Photo, NewEgg, etc.

Feel free to do your business where you feel it's best done, choice is a great thing.
