I strongly agree with Jon's comments.  I've bought a lot from them over the
years and found their mail service excellent.  I was delighted on my first
visit to the shop to find that the owner, Harold Moores (with an s), is an
expatriate New Zealander.  Regrettably, the current exchange rate has dried
up the traffic but things are improving.  North American listers who have
trouble obtaining some labels might like to give them a try.
