Default Anyone tried Pens of Color?

I hope this doesn't sound too much like an ad, but i found this place
on Ebay and they've been very good..

Just getting dragged kicking and screaming into turning pens, I went
on Ebay to see what was up there for pens..
I found a pretty good deal on some red heart blanks and bought them..
the seller was very fast and very helpful.. also sent a "gift" with
the blanks, 2 zebrawood blanks..

I then checked out the Poc web site and they became my pen turning
supply place! http://www.pocwoodworking.com/
I've ordered from them 3 times in the last 30 days and their/her
customer service is incredible.. also, her prices beat anyone else
that I can find...

The reason I HAD to post this is a recent mistake on my order:
Part of my order was 3 purple heart bottle stopper blanks for $195
each... when I got the shipment, I found 3 purple stabilized blanks
instead, which were $4.99 each..
I email Sheila there and told her about it, she asked me to send the
blanks back and she's send my the ones that I ordered..
I found out that it was going to cost me/her $500 o send them back,
sort of killing the $6 she had lost by sending the wrong blanks.. she
told me to just keep the blanks, which was probably common sense...
Today, I got an email from her saying that she had sent me the 3
original blanks that I'd ordered, at no cost...

As much as I bitch about other vendors, I had to post this positive
one...

I would definitely recommend giving them a try, I'm very happy...

Mac,

Most of what POC sells looks like tha same stuff they sell at Penn
State Industries. Here is a link...

POC's prices look better on the pen kits, but PSI has a better price on
tools. Always good to have more options to shop at anyhow.
