Hello, I buy from Snyders ,only about 2 hours from me. Also will give you real assessment of the parts they carry, example repro front fenders, they won’t fit with out rework.They have been around since at least early 1970,s .As far as charging for state tax most vendors do , I am in Pennsylvania and sales taxed accordingly.

I just received an order from Bert's today and the line-item for tax said "out of state exempt". How long that will last? I don't know. I have a feeling the Gov. will catch up just like they did on ebay. The only thing I worry about is shipping from Bert's. You don't know how much it is until they actually ship it. They do promise to give you the lowest possible shipping price. In my case they came through...$7 to ship 11 items to Ca. which I can't complain about. Most other vendors go with a flat rate USPS box for $15.

I have probably used every vendor mentioned here and lately it comes down to shipping. Some vendors ONLY ship UPS or FEDEX and the charges they pass on are actually upcharges as far as I can tell. Therefore I shop carefully if I can't get it from the one small local vendor near me. Brattons is fastest to me. I get order the day after ordering.

I have used Snyders for years. They ship same day if ordered by 3pm and all UPS orders are received in 2 days. Their technical staff is always helpful. If you have an issue they will fix it and their packaging is flawless.
