I've got 2 locals I USED to get parts from. Now I order everything online. Usually save a few bucks, but always save a giant headache. Beyond disappointed in the customer service provided at these places.
I'm on the south shore, and with a south wind if I was doing browns and staying tight, I'd send it. But, if you get there and are even 1% hesitant, no Brown is worth the risk. See if u can find a local webcam and keep an eye on it.
