Should have been a one-stop shop!
An on-line purchase. I Googled what I wanted, and found the best price at Andark.
I'm a diver. I bought a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) for use when diving off liveaboards in remote places with significant currents. But it is waterproof down to only 15 metres!
So I had to get a suitable PLB canister from Custom Divers.

Worked hard to fulfill order
When they discovered the jacket wanted was not in their stock, they sourced it from another stockist (from the Boat Show). Could not have wanted more.
