I was one of them Dave. I've been using them for parts well before the GTS.
If you order direct from the WEB and use the part number they offer a little
more of a discount. Although I have found talking directly with them on the
phone they will normally still honor the WEB/part number discount if you
know what you need and how to quickly direct them to it.
A typical response with a little more info:
