No offense but the only thing that I'm not wild about is that the Elka's are made in Quebec...seems like customer service in that neck of the Canadian woods is not so great. Plus I'd like to support the local economy.:doorag:
I have been a member/ sponsor on this site since October 2010, and have been more than open to helping the members on this board with any questions or inquiries into our products. I am not sure what companies you have dealt with in Quebec that rubbed you in the wrong way, but I can assure you that not only do I feel our company provides great customer service, but we also use many US suppliers to build our products, so supporting us IS supporting the US economy.
Come and meet me in person at Spyderfest, and I guarantee you that you will walk away with a different attitude about people in " this neck of the Canadian woods".
