I have ordered many things for DAK over the last few years and have always been
satisfied. I find that the catalog descriptions have accurately portrayed the
products and that the delivery was always prompt (always via UPS). The one time
I had trouble with an order, a single phone call to their 800 number cleared it
up.

As far as the cassette tapes are concerned, they suck. But if something you 
would like has the cassettes attached, try calling the 800 number and ask for
the price without the cassettes. Chances are they will sell it to you for not
much more than the with cassette price.

Finally, when the item you order is delivered check the box for a newsprint
catalog (they will always include a copy of the current glossy catalog). This 
is their closeout catalog, only sent along with orders. I have gotten some 
very good bargins out of these closeout sales.
