Default AC Line replacement

Hello all! I have a 2000 S80 2.9 with 113k on it, I went to the volvo dealership yesterday and my lower AC line is leaking. They wanted $615 to fix but I found the line at myvolvopartsonline.com for $137, has anyone ordered from myvolvopartsonline.com? or replaced the lower ac line it is the line from the compressor to the condenser

Ordering was a breeze! They had the best price out there & the parts are volvo parts. Due to warm weather and lack of finding a crows foot to remove the old line I was at the dealership for a transmission flush and they installed the line for $100.00 and a friend recharged it for free. So the line with shipping and o-rings was $150 and the install for $100 I was under the cost of just the line from the dealership. I had the vadis install instructions and I tried using socket u-joints, open-ended wrenches, I just could not get enough torque to get the line loose. It was going to cost me $50.00 in wrenches to get the line removed so for $50.00 more it was installed. To me the $100.00 was worth it...

That line is not too hard to replace, if you have the right tools, you can unbolt it from the compressor on top.
