I've found Rimmer's prices to be competitive and when it comes to shipping I
just take advantage of their free shipping offers.  I'm not going to argue
about prices but Rimmer's has the parts that I need when all I get from TRF
is a back order or we don't stock that anymore.  Unfortunately for us Wedge
owners we don't have a lot of sources for parts.  From what Rimmer's has
been telling me they are looking for a much larger presence's in the US.
