San Carlos isn't that far dude. If you wait till after morning traffic or before evening traffic it's an easy 30 minutes.

I might hit these guys up for a 12-24mm f/4 to take to the grand canyon soon.

Loved using their service til I saved up enough to buy my dream gear.

Picking up from the San Jose store was alot easier for me, I couldn't get out of work in time to beat the traffic to San Carlos.

 

Plus, if you're like me (and I know I am) you hate 101. If you take 280, you can get off at Edgewood, go down the hill, left on Alameda de las Pulgas, right on Brittan, right on Old County, pass by Howard and they are on the right. You can jump on 101S at Whipple and for some reason southbound is not too bad usually. Either way, I stay pretty far away from 101.

 

Yeah, thats the route I usually take. 101N blows.

 

I've used them many times. If your in a bind make sure to call them first before ordering on there website. There inventory list online is sometimes not accurate.
