I'm kinda new and would like experienced opinions on where to buy parts online. I live relatively close to Starburst/Playdium but they don't stock all that I need. Pinballlife.com responded to an equiry quickly but I haven't made any monetary commitments as of yet.

Thoughts?

I have had experience with the following three companies:

PBL - pinball life is great. I receive my orders in 7 days. Great to deal with.

MarcoSpecialties (www.marcospecialties.com). Great but shipping is brutal.

PBR - Pin Ball Resource. Great as well.

His shipping is realistic to Canada vice some of the other guys in the business.

The only issue I have is he doesn't list everything he has on his webpage.

Fantastic list!

But feedback about specific stores makes filling up online shopping carts, typing in CC numbers and pressing that 'check-out now' button less nerve-racking.

I have bought from most of the pin parts retailers on that list. They are all excellent and have a good rep. PBL is my favorite, but they're all good. Buy with confidence.
