Harry I don't think that even living close to Busdepot will save you on shipping costs for that Trans. Those items are drop shipped from the builder which is located out West. If I were in your position the only builder I trust is Daryl and his son at AA Transaxle. While he is not immune to mistakes I'd bet that if there is you can count on him for customer service. He went above and beyond normal expectations a few years back when I broke my leg and had trouble getting an exchange Trans shipped back to him. In my book there is no one better.
