I've only used Gene at gmpartshouse.com

He's been pretty good.

What makes these guys good? I'm always in the market for a good deal.

Isn't that the place that charges ridiculous shipping fees? I've tried to order things from them in the past, and they had great pricing, but the shipping handling usually made them higher than other places.

You might want to check on the other forum. I've heard a lot of bad stories about these folks.

I've used Gene at gmpartshouse.com numerous times with great results.

I've purchased from them a few times, no problems.

As mentioned, they do like to tack on a handling fee, but if you compare total (shipped) price, they usually still come out cheaper.

The other downside to them (from what I have read) is there is ZERO phone support in the event you do have a problem with the order...You're at the mercy of them choosing to reply to email.

I've order stuff from them too in the past and got exactly what I ordered (slightly) cheaper and faster than I could get it locally.

I agree on all counts.

You have to double check your part #s before you order due to the limited customer service.
