I have never had an issue with iFixit. My first dealing with them was 
in 2009 when they found a new logic board for my father's G4 PowerBook 
Pro 15" when no other vendor could help.

So far this transaction has been very smooth. I placed the order online 
yesterday at about 3:50 AM and received an immediate confirmation email.
At 16:14 I got a shipping confirmation email with UPS tracking number. 
I checked with UPS and delivery is on track and scheduled for after 
noon today.

Since for me iFixit is pretty much local, about 40 miles South in San 
Luis Obispo, I figured that if they had the screen in inventory, they 
should be able to get it to me within a day.  I live about 13 miles 
west of Paso Robles and I just didn't feel like taking that drive. I 
had other stuff to do.
