Wow, I get shipments here (Willamette Valley, Oregon) from both GW and VC
in 2 or 3 business days. So, they are my first choice. Heck, even CIP1
gets stuff here in that time frame.

Yes, on some items GoWesty is a little pricey. But, on the ig. switch they
were right on spot. I had some other things to order, so shipping was
quite reasonable.

My experience with East Coast VW parts supplier(s) is much, much worse.

YMMV.
