I've bought from Performance & Nashbar since the 80's when it was just mail order. Never had a major problem. I've also bought parts from Niagara recently and once or twice from Pricepoint.
I do my shopping both online and locally. Depends on what the item is, if it is even in stock at any of the local shops, and how soon I need it.
Another good thing to know, if you have a Performance store near you, is that the sale prices online and in the store aren't always the same. However, they will price match the online offer with no hassle. I usually bring a printout with me to save them the time and trouble of having to look it up on the site.
