I purchased my sink on line from "MYSINKSANDFAUCETS.com" was very happy with the sink. Delivered just as promised and I receive nothing but compliments. The price was right and a lot less from the box stores. In fact I purchased the faucet I wanted with the money I saved and still had money left over.

My kitchen sink purchase was online (Ticor from Galaxy) and the faucet came from an ebay dealer (cant remember name). I just finished a bathroom with the medicine cabinets, sinks and faucets and lights all coming from Faucetdirect/lighting direct.com. VERY happy with all of those transactions!!!!!!!!

I haven't used Ira Woods but have used many on-line vendors and eBay to remodel my kitchen and bathroom. You'll see many people on this forum and the bathroom forum save a lot of money by shopping on line. Always check reputation, shipping fees and if the product is in stock. As a courtsey to others try to remember to leave feedback after using the product a while.

I purchased almost all my fixtures and accessories online from various merchants including eBay: 2 sinks, 3 faucets, 2 garbage disposers, 4 light fixtures, soap dispenser, sink grid, air switches, and dishes.

However, I avoided Ira Woods because a couple GWers reported bad experiences with them.

Here is a link that might be useful: Previous thread about Ira Woods

We "experimented" with them and ordered a bathtub sink drain from them 3 years ago, and it took forever to arrive - 8 weeks. Hard to get a status, and were always promised product would ship soon when it got later delayed. Was one of our negative online experiences, wife won't order again from them. I'll pay more from a local dealer instead and not think twice or use a more reputable online source. That was our experience. They do carry some nice things, however.

When we were building we purchased all sinks, faucets, whirlpool tubs, toilets, shower components, ceiling fans, bamboo flooring, light fixtures, etc. from various online sources with best prices, best shipping and return policies. Never had a bad experience, never had to return anything, only received one thing damaged, a single small glass panel for a light fixture that was quickly replaced. Purchased our first sink from Ira Woods. Gorgeous hammered ss sink for DH's bar.
A couple of problems we experienced came from a#s h%*e trades our a^s h#*e builder used to install, and builder had to replace.
It seems the good vendors have excellent return policies because they ensure the packing materials are good so they rarely get returns for damage, etc.
It's time consuming, but the key is to diligently shop, shop, shop.

We have purchased just about everything from various online stores and have found the most competitive prices. We were able to purchase a SS sink, pendant lights, under cabinet lights, hot water heater tank and dispenser, garbage disposal and kitchen faucet) without paying taxes and shipping charges.

We've purchased a great deal "online". There are good ones and not so good ones. A few favs are mentioned above, one that isn't was SinksGallery.com - really liked them, their service, etc (although you call to purchase, but I actually liked that better).

I just cancelled an order with Ira Woods because what I needed was on backorder for a minimum of 10-12 business days. I need the item *yesterday*, so when I received their confirmation e-mail, I called and cancelled my order. I turned around and ordered from another site, and I have already received my tracking info. Whew.

I have ordered just about everything online at significant savings. My wall oven, range hood, warming drawer, microwave, farm sink, prep sink, both faucets and accessories, and garbage disposer were bought on eBay. The lighting was purchased from a couple of different sources, including Rejuvenation, Lighting Direct, and Creative Lighting. My cabinet doors and hardware were purchased online. My cooktop, fridge, and dining set were researched online, and I just waited for them to go on sale, then I pounced. ;^)

I really, really like shopping online. I always look for the best prices, read the reviews--especially the feedback on eBay, and signal out free shipping, when possible.

Only one "bad" experience, really. My wall oven (bought on eBay) was scratched by the freight company. I filed a claim, including pictures and witness statements, and I was fully reimbursed for the oven, including the shipping charges, by the freight company.
