 Subject:  Ordering Through LHSList thread.  
  
 Date:  Sep 10, 2006
 From:  Tim Streeter 
Frustrations with trying to order products through the LHS was one of the things that originally drove me to mail order.

I'd place orders through the LHS and the orders would not get passed on to the vendors, they would get lost, or the vendor was "out of stock." OR, the LHS would not submit the order until a pre-scheduled time, OR not submit it until it had gotten enough dollar volume to place the order with that particular vendor.

I didn't need a PhD to see that I could cut out the inept middleman buy products directly through Squadron, VLS, etc., and often save money.

Is the LHS simply there to provide income for its owner and employees, or to satisfy the needs of it's customers? If it can't do the latter, it's not going to do the former.
