What I have done is to get a catalog from every vendor of parts I can and then compare the pricing. Not one vendor has the best deals, I've found that each one has certain items that are cheaper than the rest. When I'm ready to order I just add up the totals and see who comes in with the best price. I tend to buy everything from one vendor at a time though, sometimes getting discounts on shipping over certain dollar values.
I've bought from many vendors and most have good service, if they don't I don't go back to them. If I don't like what I receive I send it back. It's hard to be 100% satisfied when you buy something you can't see.
