Naturally their prices are double for the same part. I noticed that just about every part Suncoast sells is reasonable & OEM.

Have you ordered from them frequently, and do you think it's worth the cost savings considering shops don't want to back up the part if it fails?
I dealt with Ric at suncoast on several occasions and had good experiences with the exception of a mislabeled part which I ended up keeping to skip the exchange aggravation.
My last purchase was from ********************************AZ where I found a new MAF for a whopping $176!!!

We Canadians are somewhat screwed when it comes to getting good parts pricing. It seems that Suncoast and Sunset have some of the best pricing out there, but once you're north of the 49th that little old line creates all kinds of problems.

I've bought from Suncoast, who were helpful when I was dealing with them on the phone, but they insist on using UPS, who are a complete rip off with their outrageous brokerage fees.

Sunset, on the other hand, due to at least one problem in the past where they shipped to Canada and didn't get paid, now won't ship here without enough personal information to make a privacy guru faint.

So it's back to the drawing board, and the local stealer's laughable prices make them the last place I want to go.
