Quoted from stangbat:Marco pros:
-Ships very quickly
-Lots of obscure parts
-Good customer service
-Easy to save a shopping cart/list for later
Marco cons:
-More expensive
-Higher shipping costs
-Web site is harder to navigate and I find it aggravating
-I've had a few messed up orders, which they always fixed
PBL pros:
-Best prices
-Very reasonable shipping costs
-Quick shipping, not as fast as Marco in my experience
-Easy to navigate web site
-Good customer service
PBL cons:
-Less selection.
That's the only negative I can come up with for PBL. I've probably placed 2x as many orders with them as with Marco and they've never messed up.
I like and use both. I placed orders with both places this afternoon. But PBL is my first choice.
Perfect summary that I completely agree with.
I'm very glad that Marco is around. I've bought plenty of replacement parts from them as they were the only ones who had them available.
