USA Parts Supply?

I have a long list of parts I need for my '72 Cutlass S project and USA Parts Supply has some decent prices on alot of the items I need. Have any of you bought from them and was it a good or bad experience?
Thanks for your feedback.

I bought some parts from them a few years back and Bubba in shipping forgot a couple of muffler hangers then sent the wrong ones but everything else was okay.
If you can get any of the stuff from Rockauto I'd try there first, they do have a lot of mechanical parts for older cars.

Never had a problem with USA. I did have an issue with Fusick a while back, but a few phone calls fixed it up.

USA Parts Supply has been around for many years (at least 20, since I've been dealing with them). I've bought parts from them on occasion over the years, and I've never had a problem. Yes, Fusick caters to the Oldsmobile hobby specifically, but they don't necessarily have everything, and their prices are often high. But you do get good service and quality parts. But I wouldn't hesitate to consider USAPS if they have a better price on something.

Me: Left and Right fender eyebrows please.
Them: Okay.
Me: Uh, one of them is bent.
Them:Okay new one shipped.
Me:Uh, you sent the one I already had, and its bent.
Them:Okay new one sent.
Me: Uh, this third one is bent too.

Last and only deal I had with them. Fusick is the place, bar none. They invest in the tooling to make parts no one else does and attend all the major Olds events.

I support them because they support us.

I've dealt with them this past summer and they had nothing in stock. It had to be drop shipped from another source. I've received a wrong lower bucket seat spring for my 70 Cutlass but would not bother to send it back and wait for another time to send me the correct one so i had to modified the springs.

I have used the for many items...prices are good and have only had one issue.
When you order get the sales persons name and contact number. When I had a problem it was due to poor communications. So establish a relationship with one sales person and you will be fine

I've bought bunches from them, they seem to know their inventory, were courteous and always gave me good advice. I use them almost as often as Fusick....Tedd

Thanks for the feedback. I will definately use Fusick and OPG, but as stated they don't all carry everything that is needed.

OPG doesn't have a good rep in the olds community. They are a Chevelle parts place selling Cutlass parts too. their prices seem high as well.
