Actually, out of all the vendors I have mail ordered parts from in the last
18 years, I have had the least amount of problems from the Parts Place, in
fact, I don't recall having any problem with them, ever. I lived overseas
and rebuilt my bus motor via mail order in the late '80s and still purchase
95% of all of my auto parts through mail order or the internet.
As for Melissa, I find it interesting that she only asked for advice from
the list after she gave her van away and not, before like Brian Cochron is
contemplating
