    I've read elsewhere of problems experienced with Surplus and Adventure with regard to late/non deliveries etc: Unfortunately there is occasionally confusion on forums with another supplier of similar kit, Surplus and Outdoors, with whom I have no connection but have always received excellent and speedy service.

    That about sums it up Shep. It's not just retailers either, I'm still waiting for goods paid for 3 weeks ago in a private sale.

    I have used them quite a lot. Recently I find their prices are much more steep than they use to be, never had any problems with them though!

    I didn't have a problem when I bought my Dutch stainless mess tins, but I won't be using them again likely. I seem to find better service elsewhere, and to be honest I'm finding more and more they are filling their pages with knock off stuff.

    Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

    By knock off do you mean cheap chinese copies, counterfeit goods, or stolen ? Your wording needs to be quite careful on the interweb these days
