Hi Wayne,

I've bought parts from your site for my 20+ y/o W126's, after some comparison shopping. I especially liked your parts-quality rating system to help assess different brands. In a few instances, I found you guys to be the only ones selling the OEM brand, though in a couple cases that was not always what actually got delivered in the mail, or was even listed in your catalog... but that's a different subject.

My questions/comments has to do with Pelican's ability to stay price competitive when charging CA sales tax

Most importantly: are you going to be able to keep the chinese aftermarket parts OUT of your catalog, and stay on top of updating product reviews, as once solid brand names (Lemforder, et. al.) migrate some of their parts mfg. over there. How much OEM can we stll expect to get ???
