This all goes to the root of this thread, Nine-a-Part treats people like crap. Whale Tail did the same to me. YMMV.
I agree that that kind of treatment isn't acceptable, though I'm surprised to hear of it. I've dealt with Randy a few times, not much, but every time has been great. I was in a jam getting my engine back in and needed new CV joint gaskets. He left them at his mother's house in the country outside Guelph, and I picked them up there from here, on a weekend, no less! I was impressed he went that extra mile for a couple cheap gaskets.

Hunter has a nice clean well organized shop. Not the best prices maybe, but he knows what he has and he knows where everything is.
I can't speak highly enough of Brent Hunter. Tons of parts, always has what I need, as honest as the day is long. I bought my replacement engine from him while mine's out for a rebuild. Great deal, excellent stuff. I've found his prices to be fair - I'm not really interested in trying to find the cheapest price anywhere for a part, I'd rather get something I know I can trust is the right part and will work properly, something Nine-a-part seems to have a problem with.

How the hell does n-a-p stay in business?
