I have bought parts from Parts Place on numerous occasions since 1992.  I
have used mail order, and been there in person doing business over the
counter.  I have never gotten a part that was below par, nor have I had what
I would call poor service.

As far as the catalog prices go, there is a disclaimer in the catalog that
the prices shown may be out of date.  They will tell you what the price and
availability is over the phone.

Respectfully,
Steve
