I've not done any business with these folks but I know that the town on their web page is South of Tucson. About 100 miles South of where I am in Phoenix. So, I guess that really doesn't answer your question at all, does it?

I just ordered a 33b from Bernies, it was $72.50 with shipping, (only $6.50 or something like that) to my place with UPS, so I was happy. I ordered it last night and got an email this morning telling me it would be with todays shipment, so I am hoping to have my crystals running by this time next week. Also, I am going to do some price checks at the place that sells grit here in town, if I can get it fairly cheap, and if shipping is cheaper from here I will gladly send it on without 'handling' charges. I'll let you all know.

I have purchased several things from GEMSUSA, they were prompt to confirm my order and everything including my tumbler arrived in perfect shape.
I have only just discovered this site, it is very informative and helpful. I'm only polishing pasture rocks right now but am amazed at what beauty lies under the weathered exteriors.
