Mesa cards in Europe

Hi! After a lot of reading it seems that a Mesa 6i25+7i77 kit would be the right setup for me. I've found the links to two European resellers here on linuxcnc.org:

www.duzi.cz/shop_cnc/index.php?main_page=index
www.retrofit-plus.at/en/MESA/

However, Retrofit+ does not seem to be very quick to answer emails (I sent them a very simple question whether the 7i43 they sell is the -U or the -U-4 variant some two days ago).

Mesa Electronics for Europe (the duzi.cz site) doesn't even have the most basic contact info listed anywhere on their site as far as I can see, which kind of rules them out for me (unless they have a really good reputation here on the forum).

Also, none of the above stores list the 6i25+7i77 combo.

Any ideas? Should I buy directly from Mesa US? If so, I'm not really happy about having to call in the credit card info... I would love a webshop or a Paypal alternative!

If you live in Europe, how did you buy your Mesa HW?

Other sources are Lascar electronics in Germany
or just order directly from Mesa

Hi,

Retrofit replied to my question, but also with few days delay. They seems OK, but I didn't order from them yet, I plan to do so next week. They don't allow use of PayPal.

As for Duzi, you first have to register to the site, and then you have some contact information. My colleagues order regularly from Duzi, no problems.

Ok, it seems all options are still open then.

Thank you all for your replies!

Well, yesterday I finally got a response from Retrofit+, only, what is it, 14 days after I sent my question...

Yesterday I also got the package that I ordered from Mesa (mesanet.com) 3 working days earlier. So far, Mesa's service has been nothing but excellent! (The only thing that could possibly have been better was that they didn't send me the tracking number for the package until I asked for it. On the other hand, I got the reply with the tracking number within 10 minutes of asking for it! Very nice! )

Don't mean to hijack the thread.
I've been communicating with Mesanet. Its time to dish out my plastic but I'm concern with the payment mode.
Payment instruction by Lily Wun is to fax my card details over. but I'm concern with handing over my card details to anyone.
Did you guys pay Mesa via any sort of secured site or Paypal?
Most appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance.
