Canuck online retailers experience?

Anyone have any experience to share re: xpressparts.ca? Hard to find reviews, and the ones I did find seemed kinda 'paid for'. Maybe.

While we're here, how about thewrenchmonkey.ca? There are lots of reviews to find on them, and they're generally ... not good.

Cheers.

EDIT: Update below...

I've ordered from Wrench Monkey a few times. No issues. Shipping is just as slow as you'd expect from a Canadian company. Rock Auto delivers product much faster, but for items that are particularly large or heavy you can get a better all-in price from Wrench Monkey. They delivered everything well packaged and didn't mix anything up, so I'd say they are good. Never dealt with xpressparts though.

Not one that you listed, but I have used autopartsway.ca in the past.

Germanparts.ca has done well for me in the past as well when I was in the GTA, but these days...

It's hard to beat the price and delivery time combination of rockauto, or FCPEuro for the hard to find bits.

Just for an update, I ordered from xpressparts.ca. Item was KYB loaded struts for a non-BMW. Good experience. I did email them a couple times for status update and tracking info, both times they answered quickly with the required info. Will use them again.
