[QUOTE="TobyB, post: 503562, member: 8812"] My experience with Prestini mirrors the above- the order filling was glacial. About a month. Their communication was good, though- I eventually got a shipping notice, the pads arrived correctly (I ordered by diameter and thickness) and they work fine. They were no more varied than other sources. The leather was 'grainier' than most, and took a bit more seating to seal, but have been 'fine' since. As in, they work, you don't notice them one way or the other, and 6 months later, they haven't burst into flame or anything. I'm new to all this, so I've been 'ordering around' to see what works for me, who has what, and what it eventually sets me back in time, money and mental overhead. If I need something that Prestini offers exclusively (or attractively) and I'm not in a hurry, I'd order again. t just one data point [/QUOTE]
