Summit will kick anyone's tail on price and shipping but you won't find much Mopar specialty stuff. Year One is a PITA most of the time (backorder hell) and they charge you mint for shipping. Jack's Jim's has a lot of good stuff but I haven't heard much good about their customer service. Don't know diddly about Jim's Jack's. Sorry, I always mix those two up.

Never heard of Jim's but I've bought a lot through the years from Summit, Jegs, and lets not forget PAW. Never had a problem with these 3.
It seems to me that the current scam is in shipping charges, vendors see it as gravy money and, for example, I live in Indianapolis and The Paddock is in Nightstown. So its easy to justify driving out there for a high cost shipping item. but for an item that may only cost $30 for shipping it would cost me more to go and get it than have it shipped.
And you can always tell them when you order that you'll be by in a minute to pick it up and then arrange for your own shipping agent to swing by and pick it up. Cuts down on the Backorder BS!

I have used YearOne,Paddock,Jim's,Summit,P-S-T,E-bay and local auto store.  I had no problems with any of these vendors.  Just do your research it will save you tons of money.  I got alot of my parts off of e-bay had no problem and were great parts.  You will also be surprised how many Items the local auto store can get you and it is way cheaper to go through them.  Research Research and Research.  One thing I have noticed that every year the parts just keep going up, when will it end??????

Yes, YO is the only distributor of the M&H wiring harnesses.

It may be difficult to write the $525.00 USD cheque but can you imagine messing around with a used one and experiencing a dash fire?

I placed my first and last order with Jim's back in October. We were scrambling all over to get parts together for Lee1. I bought a window trim clip set from him. The price and shipping wasn't bad, but it was light 6 clips (2 tall, 4 short). I called him about this and he wanted me to stand in front of the car and count the clips over the phone while he listened. I was on the road when I was making the call (any time by the car and we were working). I told him I had all the clips installed and he can take my word I was short. He then told me he wasn't sending me any more clips because he thought I was lieing. Oh yeah, I am scamming him for $3 extra clips!

I will only deal with YR1 only if nescessary.  They will only ship UPS to Canada therefore I pay a huge amount in brokerage fees.  USPS / Canada Post is much more reasonable but they don't use them for Canada shipments.  Another thing about YR1 is they package a LOT of air.  I find at least half of the box is empty.  I'm sure shipping would be cheaper if they would take the time to find a more compact box.  Shippng companys go by weight and dimensional size.  My 2cents.
