Question ??? Best company to order parts from ???

So im wondering what the general consensus on this one is ?
What supplier of boat parts & accessories is the best?
Prices, parts in stock, selection, shipping, customer service, etc....

Ive been using a large supplier out of palm coast, florida
& am very upset with all around service.
Its been a week, with still no parts at my door.
So I call this am, only to find out some of my stuff got shipped yesterday from fl, some from ca, and ill have to wait on the rest to be shipped from the mfg......
ive previously used this supplier for their selection, and they are on the east coast so I thought this would help get my parts quicker & cheaper.
Seems that's not the case !!!
Im all done with them.....

So please help me find a new supplier. Who's the best ?

For marine specific items I've had good luck with Hardin Marine and Competiotion Products. For non-marine specific engine needs I try to do local, but they can't help then I use Jegs.

For Merc stuff, I've always had great luck with BAM, and I usually have my stuff next day.

CP is also an excellent supply house, they've been 100% spot on for me every time.

I understand your frustration for sure. I've had good luck w/Teague as far as getting it done and getting it to you fast. And of course they know their stuff. Pricing...I'm not sure who is the best in that department. I can tell you (depending on what you are buying and amount of money). If I need it now, I'd give Teague a call.

Im a dumb, lazy shopper.
I find a company & stick with them.

Used the previous supplier as I said figuring getting my parts via fed ex / ups would be cheaper & faster than a west coast business.

Im trying to get this race boat done & with 5 weeks left my stress levels up there.....this didnt help matters.....

This past order was $2 g, well before I canceled what hasn't already shipped. Theres been plenty of orders like that before, and id have kept using them but......

O ya, and while im at it.... When I mentioned customer service. Good customer service imo isnt calling somebody ”sir ” 50 times....
