Are you buying equipment and supplies locally? Or from major outlets?
Depending on what's needed I'm using FS.com, Amazon, or FIS. Most things can be ordered from Amazon for next day shipping. There's a store in Denver you can walk into and buy anything you need.
As a tech or owner, if you had a store in your area, what would draw you in? Just retail, or would things like a repair, calibration, loaner splicers or OTDRS, used gear on consignment matter more?
Genuinely curious to hear some feedback.
