my blackburn design light issue OR a good customer service experience

I just wanted to note that I had an exceptional experience with the phone customer service for a http://www.blackburndesign.com product which had a small issue. They just earned future repeat business from me :), next time I'm looking for a bike light, pump, bike computer etc I'm going to check there first...oh yeah they also got this free positive review too :)
