Unfortunately, the last time I went to buy a set, probably 10 years ago, I was told they were no longer available in the USA. It was suggested that they could be had from Canada but, only via a convoluted means that also doubled their cost. Now, does anybody know who is distributing them? I will need a set before winter and since the Hakka 10's are good, the Vredesteins should be GREAT. Rich |
