I'm looking for anyone with experience buying from Marine Supply Direct.com ... http://marines in Tuckahoe, NJ 08250 ?
They show some great pricing on their web site, but before I spend severl hundred dollars on a purchase , I'd like to know that are legitimate.
Problem: I've called and left messages several times and several e-mails requesting information. No one ever picks up the phone, and also have not retured a single e-mail over 2 weeks time.

This makes me suspect.......
Any experience buying from this web site would be appreciated.

No response after two weeks is a BIG red flag. But even if they are legitimate, they carry a pretty limited selection of products, at least in their plumbing dept....Jabsco and portapotties are their only toilets, no hoses that anyone really needs. I checked a couple of other categories, equally as limited.
Have you checked the online store right here on this site?? It carries a HUGE selection of everything, prices are competitive if not the lowest, and they can order just about anything you need for less than you can find it most other places.

And they entirely pay for our favorite sailing forums.
