I've not had much success with Protectdirect :{

I ordered a couple of security cameras from them, and after weeks of
waitin=
g I was told they'd accidentally overlooked my order (during some sort of
t=
ake-over or something).

After another couple of weeks I had to contact them again, and was told my
=
order "had just been dispatched yesterday".

A week later I got an email saying they had no stock, and the units were
di=
scontinued!

Two months later they're still advertised on the web page....

I hope you have better luck than me, but from now on I think I'll shop
some=
where a bit more reliable even if it does cost more.
