Subject: Vendors for Greece

Greetings to the ACQNET community:

We would be interested in hearing what experiences (good, bad or 
indifferent) any of you may have had with vendors for materials in Greece. 
Any vendors you recommend? Any to avoid?

We order very little from Greece and have used Eleftheroudakis in Athens. 
Since we order so little (only 5 orders in the past 2 years) it is hard to 
generalize. This vendor is fairly slow in supplying but perhaps this is 
typical for this part of the world? E.g. It took 3-6 months to receive the 
three orders they have filled and we have two orders outstanding. One of 
our outstanding orders is 18 months old with no reply to our claim sent 7 
months ago.

We would also be interested in hearing any comments on postage charges from 
Greece.

Thanks,
