I like Carbatec and most of the staff are just great. I have a lot of their gear, heaps of it really, and I hope that they prosper. It can be a very good company to deal with.... And it can be very frustrating. At some point and I hope soon, they will come to terms with the fact that people can and increasingly will, shop online and that their operation needs to be competitive in that environment. Most likely, at the moment, they are doing okay but the world is changing and it will not wait around for operations that do not adjust quickly enough.
My age is still less than my number of posts

I like Carba tec as well and they have made thousands from me but on the same token they have lost a lot due to the fact that they either didn't have what I wanted in stock and had no idea when they will get it in or just plainly refused to get it in so I shopped online at lee valley and imported myself. It was much cheaper anyway at the time but now since our dollar has fallen it's not that cheap but having said that if I need it and I can't get it here like 80% of the time I will shop overseas.
Here is prime example last night I bought a 2a hand drill from the US in total it costs me $100 with shipping I looked everywhere on ebay in Australia only for months aand nothing ever came up that's the problem. I'm looking for a disston rip saw I just simply cannot find one in Oz and I'm not clued on as to where these antique dealers have their swap meets so I'm basically forced to shop overseas.
