No receipt / unsealed bag??? Are you sure it ain't a second hand one and that the money hasn't gone thru the till????? |

They were on my list to buy components from them but in the end TasTech in ChCh had more of the parts I wanted for cheaper overall and they are local. Starlyte are one of the few suppliers that actually respond to email requests promptly. The other two suppliers that I am happy with for service are Ascent and HotChips. |

| 98454 | 2002-11-14 20:45:00 | Chris: it doesn't LOOK second hand - the screw holes are as virgin as they can get, but I do have to admit to feeling uneasy about it. It's hard to believe that such a "reputable" supplier would do that, but stranger things have happened..... Oh, and we paid by cheque. ;-) |

| 98455 | 2002-11-14 20:49:00 | Perhaps it is on the level then with payment by cheque....but I share your concerns..... | Chris Randal (521) | ||
| 98456 | 2002-11-14 20:54:00 | Yes, Starlyte are very good. I've bought a few things from them and they always arrive next day. Many of you will know of my deallings with other stores, Starlyte are certainly at the top of my list, all else being equal - and they'll price match if they can. For the Wellingtonians here, Starlyte are opening a store in Mt Vic soon. |

| 98458 | 2002-11-15 03:24:00 | > how can you tell the screw holes are as virgin as they can get ?? It's not very difficult to spot the difference between one that's been installed and one that hasn't . . . usually there are marks or scratches . Also screwholes which haven't had screws screwed into them look a lot 'cleaner' . |

| 98459 | 2002-11-15 03:45:00 | Thanx crozier, that's exactly what I meant. :-) Only thing is, hubby is an engineer and he says it's impossible to tell whether there have been screws in it or not. It LOOKS clean, but he says that doesn't mean that no screws have been in there. For the record I don't think it is second hand... |
