content: I've usedV-Techbefore, UK based, but do deliver worldwide not sure of the delivery charges for that though.Good range of tips, fair prices and delivery is OK if you order a few.

content: I've bought my JBC CD station at smarttec in Germany. You have to ask for prices, but some 3-4 years ago it was no problem to sell to private customers.The contact was very nice and I've got also some student discount. Before I bought, I even got a station to try without any problems.A friend of me bought also a station there (as student) 1-2 years ago. He got a used one (perfect condition) with a lot of free additionals like tips, sponges, flux, ...I highly recommend them. Weidinger didn't sell (4 years ago) to private customers.

This was 3-day international tracked shipping as well.I got an PayPal invoice for the parts I was thinking of ordering so I could review the full costs including shipping cost and exchange rates to UK from Italy.I made my decision and paid the invoice, I received an email with pictures showing my specific station being packed, a message when package shipped with international tracking number and a brand new station at my door.This was all in June 2013 and I was impressed by his service, the station still works great and I have no hesitations of ordering from him in the future should I need any other equipment.Thanks again mikgntl-2013, you are recommended by me!
