Part of the text from Lyne's FAQ: "Downloading would require a far greater investment in servers, connectivity and software. It also requires far greater maintenance and creates far more customer service issues. These additional expenses would easily double or triple our fixed costs. What is largely overlooked and forgotten is that over and above all of these hardware, and customer service expenses, the cost of connectivity and bandwidth must also be included. Connectivity and bandwidth expenses are incurred whether sales are made or not. All of these costs would then be passed on to the customer in the form of higher prices. These added business expenses would force us to double our pricing and reduce the quality of the products. None of our competitors come close to offering the overall product value that our products do. All of our products are complete and not sold "a la carte" or piecemeal. Most of our products are in fact sets which include multiple textures, accessories and options. This is why our products continue to be the best value for the lowest prices being offered. Just a review of our current inventory shows that our store at the time of this writing has: 41 Products that are between 25 - 49 Mb in size 20 Products that are between 50 - 99 Mb in size 14 Products that are 100 - 199 Mb in size 5 Products that are 200 - 299 Mb in size 4 Products that are 300 - 400 Mb in size Delivering our products via CD allows anyone to readily obtain our products at extremely reasonable prices. Our use of Priority Mail and Global Priority Mail as our standard mode of delivery provides us with coverage to over 60 countries. Domestic US delivery times average 2-3 days from date of shipment with a few extending a day or two longer due to weather or rural addressing. The majority of our orders are processed and shipped the next business day, with a few (less than 5%) being held for 48 hours awaiting final authorization from the credit card issuer. Internationally most of our European customers receive their orders within 4-5 working days from date of shipment. Orders to the UK are traditionally very fast with delivery times of 3-4 days not uncommon. Our shipping charges are also among the lowest of any mail order company offering priority shipping." I've been extremely happy with everything I've bought fom Lyne, (and that's a lot!) Coldrake
