My biggest problem with Riders is that they don't update their catalog
often (or on some lists, never).  Some contain items that are OOP, some
have out-of-date prices, most don't have new items produced in the last
6+
months.  Of course, it's been over a month since I've been to the site
and
maybe they've rectified it, but it has kept me from ordering from them
for
months now.  I have bought from them before and had good success,
though.
They also have just about the most complete and extensive catalog on the
net (few, if any, construction zones), but they really need to keep up
with it.
