I have an AB catalog and have been planning on ordering from them its a good thing I found out about the shipping cause the first order was just going to be a new center cap for one of my wheels (dissapeared while I was out of town and the Fiance was using the truck- go figure) and some of those little clips (forget the exact term) that hold on the cardboard panels under the dash. So most likely less than $10 or so in parts! but thanks again for all the great responses its really great to know there are so many options available for suppliers too!

I have never ordered from AB or RN until this week. I ordered a cap, rotor and fuel filter kit from AB and the total was $10 less once shipping was applied. RN's prices are initially cheaper but Spike is right, they rape you on the shipping. If you are looking for magnecores, I just ordered 8mm from apexperformance.net for less than 90 bucks, no idea how the service is or if it is legit. I guess we'll see.

I've ordered from both and have had great service from both, but since RN is only a 15 minute drive from me shipping hasn't been an issue. RN has also been extremely helpful in diagnostics and other advice.

I ordered from AB today for a handful of parts and they let me use my Fedex account and that saved me about $80 on the overnight shipping. I have not tried arranging my own shipping with RN as the prices at AB are generally much better.

I ordered my parts with second day air from AB and had them on my door step with in 24 hours of the time I ordered them, even though it was after the 12PM EST cut off. Granted it was the service I paid for but they delivered quicker than I could have hoped for and it means I get the rover back one day sooner and I can give the Lincoln back to the in-laws! Saving me from the mother in law is worth an extra vote for AB!
