Yeah, seems like they've gone completely. I used to buy quite a bit from them, but I haven't done so for several months (since their postage prices went up).

Less suppliers mean less competitive prices (cyncial, moi? :wink:).

i will admit myself that i will always try and use suppliers that offer free postage or don't charge an arm and a leg

but it's always sad when a business closes i've been there it's not nice

Does anyone know why they closed down? Was it for personal, rather than business reasons?

At the time I think they said they were going to focus on other areas, but they didn't say what those areas were. Maybe that was just a way to avoid the truth because it would have made sense to let all of their current customers know what areas they were moving into as I'm sure they would have had some early orders.
