Great have the parts

Great site. Provided needed technical specs. Shipped promptly. Although I had to ask for the tacking number, it was not emailed, one was provided promptly upon request.

Best price and super fast shipping. Only issue was that their online order status system was really far behind! The system said my order was "pending" and it had been shipped. Later it said "processing" and it was on my doorstep. Not a big deal and certainly better than the opposite (they tell you something has happened when it hasn't) and doesn't keep them from being a 5 star seller in my book.
