Billy D. –
“Some of these companies (not all) have good reputations online and will offer support post-sale.”
Which companies do you refer to? It would be great to have more trustworthy first hand accounts opposed to trumped up “ratings.”
“if the import can’t be fixed locally, they offer to ship the item back to Japan on your behalf…AND even offer a loaner during your down time.”
Again which company would this refer too and isn’t this contingent on the company still being around? In my experience of looking for equipment all the online stores that sell grey have changed their names in less than a year!
Thanks billy.
