Anyone done business with 1Airconditioning.com?

1Airconditioning.com lists remanufactured SVX air conditioner compressors for $315, with "free" UPS ground shipping and no core charge. If anyone here has dealt with this establishment, I'd appreciate your opinion.

Thanks,

Well then, having found no better deal elsewhere, I reckon I'll be the guinea pig.

UPDATE: Reman compressor (probably from China) and new receiver/dryer (labeled from China)=$350, delivered from San Diego, no tax or shipping charge. Packaged very well, a corrugated box-within-a-box cushioned with abundant bubble wrap, plenty of detailed how-to info, but the two wire leads entering the back of the compressor housing had been abraded to the point of breakage, apparently due to friction against the inside of the carton. (Long boat ride, I reckon.) I thought about returning for exchange but decided to crimp-on new leads instead.

Don't recall the exact dates, but parts were in-stock and delivery was prompt. Twelve month warranty. So far, so good.

UPDATE x2: Thusfar, the $315 reman compressor works just fine. To borrow the cliché from a billion used car ads: ICE COLD A/C.

As fate would have it, I noticed Saturday that the compressor on the other car is slinging green-dyed oil out the clutch assembly. And I brag to people that I don't have a car payment.
