Congrats to BC and Renaissance for actually getting it right. How much simpler for the customer can it get? Order - check out - quick delivery. A beautiful web page that is easy to use, not to mention a diverse product line and the best prices. No weird hours or ambivalence to deal with. As far as I'm concerned, you already are stateside. I urge all CR'ers to give BC and the gang at RC your business first. they are an absolute pleasure to deal with!
No relation at all to them, except as a customer in good standing.
