The doublet took about 6 weeks to arrive. In the email correspondences he said they are shipped from the UK. I got the choice between Melton or Barathea for the same price so I picked Barathea. I'm a very cautious shopper when it comes to sending $$ for products without seeing. And just by the emails back and forth for about a month I took the plunge. I would based on my experience recommend his store to others as I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again. Hope this helps. I know it's not MoD but for my solo gigs it looks pretty regale.
    Thanks. This is useful info for any future customer who is reading this.

    Such are the vagaries of mobile phones! I can recommend Irfanview (free, Google it), a simple but reasonably powerful image processor. Download your pictures to your computer, open them with Irfanview, in the Image menu, use Rotate or Flip to orient them as you wish, save them and post the saved versions. Job done.

    You can also use it to reduce the storage size of the image, saving as Jpeg with 50% compression will display just fine on screen but the prints won't be so good above about A5 paper size.

    Thanks for the info. Weird how the pic was taken vertically but posts horizontally. Thanks for rotating them.

    I may also add that even if the vendor was getting his supply ie doublet from India or Pakistan my mentality was he's built up a relationship with the manufacturer and ultimately he's the one responsible for the quality of the product. So that took some of the stress off of my shoulders versus me just ordering from the manufacturer. But in this case he said they come from the UK so that made me happy as well
