Purchasing from LP Gear


I am considering buying an Audio Technica ART 9 cartridge (not the Art9XI or XA) from LP Gear off the internet.  They claim to have ART9 with full USA warranty for $990.00.  I have bought a lot of gear off the net, but I am not familiar with LP Gear.  If anyone has experience with LP Gear, good or bad, I would very much appreciate learning about it.  Thanks in advance.

I had had a shipping issues with them many years ago. When Needle Dr. closed there doors, I started using them again.  I've had zero issues with them since.  The issue I had with them was shipping cost for 10 miles same city. I wanted to pickup the cartridge and not pay $8.95 for shipping.  I'd done it before with him but this one time I never got a reply to my email request for pick-up.  By the time I started doing business with him again, free shipping for over.......   was free, issue solved. 
There’s no phone number to talk to a human being.There’s also no way to click on an item to put it in your cart.I’m not fond of a company like that.
I bought a TT belt from them once, never again. Received totally wrong belt and ended up loosing belt price, taxes and 2 times shipping as they claimed not to have received returned belt. I would find another vendor !
IMHO, LP Gear sux. They shipped me a defective belt and wouldn't replace it. They apologize by email and do nothing to resolve. Never again. 

Art9 is a great cart! Cheers,
