Saga Update for those that care...or don't........

For those who have followed my follies as a newbie to the world of Airbrushing.

UPS trashed one Badger Trillion Air compressor in transit and dented the replacement compressor that was double boxed by BearAir that arrived last Monday. The company I bought from, BearAir has been nothing but helpful and kind throughout and has been forth coming with full refunds on both compressor's. They also let UPS have it from their end as we gave it to UPS from our end. I have no problems doing business with BearAir in the future and would have tried a third go round on a compressor with them but they didn't carry the model I decided to upgrade to since all the Trillion Air hassles.

The compressor I decided on is the Iwata-Medea Great White Shark, I know, overkill for models. I also want to be able to do Graphics, T-Shirts and a few other things....don't forget the cats.....The two places I looked at were DixieArt and CoastAirBrush. Since I live in Arizona, CoastAirbrush seemed like the best choice to do business with and after talking with them by phone they said that they ship this compressor by FedX. So now I have a compressor on order and they also said that Medea puts their name on the compressor but it's made by Panther, who are tied with SilentAir and it's called a Black Panther compressor. So hopefully I'll have better luck with a cat over a badger and I do like kitties.....I was very impressed with the service so far from CoastAirBrush along with all the info, they said they also stock all replacement/service parts for said compressor and they would beat all advertised prices.

Final note, I'm still going rounds with UPS over an international package that they delivered across town to the wrong address and the shipper did have the proper address on the package which I have confirmed, all UPS has said so far is driver and hub error and I still don't have that package. UPS is way down on my list and when I can, I'll FedX or use other carriers then use them.

This hobby is so fun and relaxing, I'm lucky to have a very sweet and understanding wife and I'm keeping her!

Thanks for listening.
