[s-cars] spam: Looking to order rear calipers at reasonable cost

[Fred Munro]

Dave;

I've purchased rear calipers at Canadian Tire and at the local NAPA store
for my '94 S4. I don't know if CTC still carries them; I think the last time
I inquired they didn't stock them anymore. NAPA still carries them. They
cost around $100 each reman, but the ones I got were new.

Does anyone have any recent experience finding a good place to order
rear calipers from at a reasonable price?  I've tried a few of the
usual, but so far most either don't carry them or have high prices.

I had found Autohaus AZ had good prices, but when I tried to place an
order with them they refused to deal with Canadian customers who want
shipping to anyplace other than the home address registered with the
credit card company (I have all my US orders shipped to a UPS store just
over the border from me - cuts shipping costs by 50%-90% and reduces the
otherwise obscenely high brokerage fees to $0).

Really bad customer service (the worst I've encountered so far ordering
parts for my S4), and I've had no problems with this anywhere else I've
ordered from over the last ten years.  They wanted to ship directly to
my home address in Canada and nowhere else (and I'm not home during the
day anyways to receive a parcel anyways), but instead of the free
shipping offered to US addresses, they wanted to charge me over two
hundred dollars for the shipping and brokerage fees.  You can image
where I told them they could stuff it.  :o)

Won't be recommending them to any one, that's for sure.

So now I need to find someplace else with decent prices on rear calipers.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
