The website has been having problems. I have tried to sobmit an order about 3x, and either the website gets stalled with the blue steering wheel turning back and forth, or getting stuck on not providing the 'State' pull-down, or something. I finally got

Very easy to order on this merchant site.

Great prices

Only downside is I couldn't use multiple coupons - one for shipping discount and another for 10% off.

So far, so good.

Quick and easy shopping.

Best price for the particular part I was ordering. Their staff/customer service is very helpful and polite, but unfortunately their shipping times are lacking. Before ordering on Monday, I called to verify the item was in stock, and asked what shipping method I would need to ensure it would arrive before Saturday. I was told 2nd Day Air. I ordered that same day (around 1pm). The package wasn't shipped until Wednesday evening, AFTER I called and inquired a to why it hasn't moved. What really upset me though was that the package ended up being shipped UPS Ground anyways, to arrive here the very next day. Long story short, I shouldn't have had to pay the extra $20+.

good

I'm not sure about this order, I hope it fits.
