Default Who's your favorite parts distributor?

Am I missing something here? I think most of us order our parts from one of two distributors. One offers free shipping no minimum plus a 10% discount for entering this forum in coupon code. The other charges a minimum 7.95 unless you spend $99.00 or more. OEM parts are OEM parts. What gives? I have not found the selection that different.

I shop local (Oreilly, Autozone ...) and look for the best warranty. Craigslist for used.

For new/OEM parts I use TascaParts.com or iPd.com
For used parts I use Volvo & Saab Auto Dismantlers - New and used car parts

But first I generally search the classifieds sections on Swedespeed and Volvospeed.

@ Mad Mat: Awsome link to Volvo used parts place.

I usually go to local salvage yard. Then order from FCP and ipd. For very small broken plastic stuff I get it from the stealer, usually wait till I go out of town, my local stealer sucks.
