Deaslership parts price quotes by UPS

[Sidney]

I am planning to buy front lower passenger and driver's side control arms for a 1995 Toyota 4-Runner and I got shipping quote of $54.83 by UPS 2nd day Air for them. Would the dealership stick their online quote even though both controls arms weigh alot?. Also did anyone ever purchase Toyota parts from?:

http://toyotaofhollywood.com

as right now they seem to have the cheapest prices on genuine OEM Toyota parts.

Here is breakdown of the parts I am planning to buy:

Toyota oil filter # 90915-YZZD1=$3.73, quantity:6
Toyota front lower driver's side control arm # 48069-35051=$171.21
Toyota front lower passenger side control arm # 48068-35051=$171.21
Toyota cotter pin # 90252-04002=$0.38, quantity:2

so subtotal:$365.56+$6 handling+ $54.83 (UPS 2nd day Air)=$426.39

I used to buy from Bob Bridge Toyota at http://www.1sttoyotaparts.com but they no longer hold the volume discount account so from all of the research I have done Toyota of Hollywwod, Florida seems to have the best prices presently. If anyone has place on cheaper control arms let me know as well does anyone have a source on RUST FREE SOUTHERN control arms that they would be willing to ship to Nova Scotia Canada by USPS (US Mail)?.. They are used on 2nd generation 4-Runners (1990-95) and 5th generation pickups (1989-95) If so send me an email at the below address in my signature.

Anyone know the size or specs for the cotter pins for both the lower and upper control arms?, thanks.

They have a good price on the parts and shipping. A couple of bucks cheaper than I am. My price would be $173.34. I don't charge a handling charge and I only charge actual shipping costs, but I can't quote that because I don't know how much the control arms weigh until I got them in. I'd guess about 15 to 20 pounds each. I charge actual shipping costs and $2.00 for materials etc. I don't use UPS I use FEDEX and at 40lbs to you its around $120.00.

I'd say make sure they don't put in any hidden charges, back peddle and charge you after the order is placed, and make sure they honor their quote.
