Can anyone recommend a place that will take orders over the Internet,
is reliable and ships quickly and cheaply? I have relatives coming
for a wedding in two weeks and if I can get the connectors to them,
they will bring them.
I'm only interested in 10 of them, which seems to be 10 more than
are available here.
