Question Avast Marine

I have been looking at these products for a little while, and most of them seem pretty clever, well priced, and the cheaper DIY option seems like a no brainer.

So I was looking at picking up one of the MR5 Media Reactors, one of the K1 Kalk Stirrers, and the Digital Out Pressure ATO switch to plug into my RKL.

Has anyone ever dealt with these guys shipping and customer service for us up here in Canada?

The Swabbie is pretty awesome and is on my list, but i just cant justify another 150$ when i have so much other necessary equipment to buy first.

Here are some links:

I made a purchase and at first the customer service was good. Then there was problems in shipping a bunch of damaged items they wanted me to ship back at my cost. The quality of the products seems low, we ordered probe holders and there isn't a probe around that would fit in the holes. Seems they use low quality/ grade of materials on there products, look at them wrong and they break.

IMO, great ideas but poorly executed...
