Like Code Red and Dark Force? Because they are superb at replacing faulty product!? Arrow's QA is heads above these days

Nothing wrong with being shrewd in business, but your suggesting Arrow are "shady" really? And who are these "multiple people"? Because of the unhinged rantings of a former (freelance) staffer? - I've had Calum rant at me as I've came across him in my line of work, but as that was private, it shall stay so! You take his beef with Arrow to suit YOUR agenda!

There was issues with new staff and Customer Support but they have been consistently guid with few issues. Perhaps you're confusing them with the wonderful Customer Support you get from Code Red!?

This is like the same thing when drug companies charge people in the US more for the same drug because people in the US can pay it, not nice.

It costs them more to do business in the US and they ARE initially a UK company! The pound is at it's weakest level it has been in decades thanks to the cluster**** that is Brexit! Prices are pretty much the same, an Arrow "special edition" is $27 which works out at £20 for the UK edition. If you are getting a better deal it's because the $ is stronger than the £. Deal with it or import from the UK! Now you know how we in the UK feel when importing US media!
