Telectronics has a long reputation - going back more than ten years through
two or three business names they've shifted to. (Got to wonder about the
reasons for that.)  That "language barrier" isn't too bad when you're
buying, but just try to return something that doesn't work or that fails on
startup.  Suddenly, there is no one in the building who speaks any English
at all.

DTech/Telectronics/Whoever has always had the lowest advertised prices in
town, and their selection is probably the largest, but most of the small
dealers will meet their price on any brand they carry or can order.  Many of
them also have very good customer service reputations.

Caveat Emptor.
