Besides IBM's Maintenance Parts unit, can anyone recommend a trustworthy online parts supplier?

What part(s) exactly are you looking for?

I was just curious if the places that appear at the top of Google searches, like thinkpad-parts.com, were trustworthy or not.

Try buying on this forum first, before you go 'wild'!
Google is pushing those shops that pay the most commission to them. Not necessarily a recommendation, if you ask me...

I have purchased a couple of batteries from these guys....
Prices are fairly good, delivery & packaging is good

Problem is, we are in the US and you are in the UK.
Different markets, different prices (and high shipping if we would buy in the UK, what with the expensive £).
