HHDealer Review
HHDealer is a website that sell datamined hand histories from a variety of the most popular pokerrooms.
HHDealer is my favorite supplier of hand histories, and I have spent several hundred dollars buying from them. As a result I know a lot about what they are good at and where they may come short. Unfortunately it also means that I may also be a bit biased - If you ask someone, who has just bought a Lexus what he thinks of it, odds are that he is pretty exited and won't hesitate to tell you how awesome it is.
I do my best to be objective, and in case you want to read an alternate point of view, I have also written an article about HHDealer's biggest competitor, Hand HQ.

Game Coverage
HHDealer datamine No Limit and Fixed Limit Hold'Em and Pot Limit Omaha cash games.
As a special service they allow you to see how many hands they have datamined in the last month, specifically at the stakes you play. This is very handy, since you will then know how old the hand histories you buy are, and if you are interested in their monthly purchase package you will be able to get a good estimate of how many hand histories you will be getting.

Delivery of Hand Histories
When you make a bulk purchase your hand histories are usually sent to your email address within 1 day (I have never waited more than 24 hours).
If you select the monthly subscription option the hand histories will be sent to your by email once a day, however, I recommend that you take you use their free program, HHLoader, which will download the hand histories to a folder on your computer just with the click of a button.

Support
HHDealer's support is very fast to respond, and I usually get responses to my emails the same day I send them. They also list ICQ and AIM ID's that you can contact them at.
If you are going to use ICQ or AIM, please keep in mind that the person you are contacting may be in a different timezone than you, or may be working, so if you don't have an urgent issue it may be more appropriate to send an email.
