On Friday Sept 15, 2023 I placed an order from https://www.fordpartsdistributor.com/ for the Lincoln Nautilus engine cover and mtg studs. Later that same day they emailed me that the parts were “shipped” (likely boxed and FedEx labeled - still…that’s quick). Tracking shows estimated delivery will be this coming Tuesday.
In addition to the quick order processing, I wanted to point out that not only was their shipping cost $4-$13 cheaper than several other online Ford parts suppliers, but unlike those same suppliers, this one charged me sales tax ONLY on the parts total where the others I checked taxed the shipping cost as well!
Now, I Googled that and read that some states will tax on shipping or a portion of that cost, but it depends on certain factors that I won’t repeat here (I’d have to reGoogle it…).
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that this supplier also appears to indicate remaining quantity of the particular part that you are viewing, rather than the typical and vague “dependent on availability” message that other sites show.
I’ll update when these items are delivered, but wanted to provide this initial information so that others here can at least compare prices, shipping and tax from this online supplier to other suppliers that have been mentioned and sourced in other threads on this forum.
Happy Mavericking !
