Buying vinyl sheet tape

Where's a good place to buy some black vinyl tape? I tried metrosellers on ebay. Paid 8 something for a square foot of tape and it hasn't arrived after 4 weeks. I emailed them and they told me they'd re-send it or refund it after 35 days.

Anybody else have this happen to them? Are there better places to buy good quality tape?

go to a vinyl sign store and ask them if they have any scraps. You can probably buy a foot of it for a few bucks. They have that cool machine that cuts the stickers out of that material in no time. I wish i had one of those machines.
good luck.

Oh btw dan, the reason why I'm asking is because I'm considering using vinyl tape to cover up the decals on a slate gray windsor. I just happened to bump into another thread right now that says something about you owning one. How do you like it? Got any pics?

I ordered from metrosellers and got mine in a relatively short time well packaged.
