Quoted from Jvspin:Not every state has a distributor. You are lucky if you have a distributor who is close enough to do minor repairs and shipping is both expensive and risky.
That makes me wonder how the boutiques are going to handle these issues. Heighway and Spooky are sold direct, yes? Or wait, I read something about Heighway having a US distributor--but you can buy direct on their site.
Seems like you wouldn't need distributors if you're selling 100-300 machines.
