They sell cheap crappy parts and their customer service sucks! I'll stick with FCP from now on.

LOL... I was wondering the same thing.....?

Little trick when getting parts for your volvo,
Unless its a generic part like wipers, oil, lights, or something that is not vehicle specific..
ALWAYS Shop with a company that specializes in volvo specific parts, Like FCP, IPD, EST, or Viva to name a few

I ordered power window switches for my BMW. They blow the fuse when used. I know it's not the wiring because my one original switch works in any plug. One month and counting for a resolution. Now I know where not to order control arms for my V50!

Yeah, they make generic crap, slap a BMW sticker on it, and slide it down to packaging... On a Volvo, most generic stuff will work, as they are a little more compatible. But a BMW or Mercedes are more unique, so yeah, stay with the trusted companies. I'll give good reps to FCP, as they made an error in my parts order. They sent me a better quality ball joint though I purchased a set of cheaper ones. Called them up, and they sent me another high quality ball joint (with a little persuasion) to give me a set of $100 ones when I paid less than $40 with shipping.
