I did a search and didn't see a thread like this, so I thought I'd start my own.

I'll skip mentions of ebgames.com and gamestop.com since we've all heard of them and know about their service and instead talk talk about the positive experiences I've had with two somewhat obscure stores (obscure compared to massive giants like ebgames.com and gamestop.com).

The GOAT Store (http://www.goatstore.com) - I can't say enough good things about this store. A few weeks ago, I posted a topic about the Genesis and expressed interest in buying an original Genesis 1 model without the license screen. I got to talking with GoatDan (the owner) and we exchanged several PMs back and forth about shipping rates and so on. He was there every step of the way with quick responses to my questions. Needless to say, I eventually ordered the Genny and got it 2 days after it was shipped. It was packed well, looks great for such an old system, and most importantly, works perfectly. Fantastic!

MW Electronics (http://www.mwelectronics.com) - I found out about these guys through that huge GBA flash cart thread from a few weeks ago. I wanted to order an EZFlash Advance, but at the time of the thread, they were all sold out. I e-mailed them asking when they'd have more in stock and got a quick response. Ditto for my follow-up e-mail about a week later. When they did eventually get it in stock and I was able to order it, it was shipped the same day and arrived shortly thereafter. Now I'm rocking and rolling with old NES games on my GBA. Major plus: These guys are based in the U.S. (Florida), unlike most of the other flash cart distributors, which operate out of Hong Kong and other foreign locations.

Well, those are my recent online shopping experiences. What are yours?
