I'm just at the start of my sluty spending phase, but so far Mercenary are the the clear winners for international orders. I'm from New Zealand, and it's extremely hard to get pro audio guys to take my cash!!

There seems to be a strong "if you ain't American, piss off" vibe from many pro audio dealers. I don't understand this, and it's extremely frustrating. I speak english, I have a Visa card, and Fedex and UPS deliver here every day. I'm prepared to pay excessive freight charges and duties and taxes - I just want *good* shit.

I have lost count of the number of times I have decided to purchase something good, and I have scoured the net for a website that could take y order. Often you get right to the shopping cart checkout before you get the ""if you ain't American, piss off" message.

Anway, Mercenary rock, and I basically have to limit my purchasing decisions to Mercenary approved gear. Which is no great hardship. But it certainly has prevented/is preventing me buying a lot of gear.
