I know there have been many questions and debates on who best to use and trust for parts, good and bad experiences with many and I am wondering of there isn't one we all could agree on? I have recently put together a short list of parts I have wanted for some time (Yes, my bonus just came in ) and as I search the few catalogs I have, I am finding that say for example Virginia classic is consistently cheaper than NPD on almost every item. The ones they aren't are small items and the difference is next to nothing. Of course, better service is always worth some extra cash to me and the mystery shipping total can always level the playing field at the end of the shopping list. I know several always mention Munstangs unlimited, and so I am currently checking them out on line and comparing to my list but there server is not being friendly right now.
So, is there one we all agree to trust or do our loyalties float between a few depending on who has the better price at the time or what?
EDIT: Case in point that price isn't everything. I just learned that Virginia classic doesn't have online ordering. That is a bit stoneage and dissapointing to me and more than outways saving a few dollars in my book.
EDIT 2: Geez, WTF! NPD is the same way. Not only can you not order online, but you need to look at pages in Acrobat just to view the stuff via online. I know we are talking about old cars here for pete's sake but it seems to me these operations should be just a tad more modern. Now I'm starting to see why Mustangs Unlimited is often referenced as one of the favorites around here. I find their online system less than mind blowing but at least they have one. Some of these companies really need to step into the 90's. Even John's that is a small little company has online ordering. Sheesh!
