I'm not affiliated with Bike Trailer Shop at all, but i've ordered a few random parts from them, and their customer service was awesome. fast shipping, exactly what i wanted, etc, and my wife ordered a pannier from Bike Bag Shop, their pannier/bag "department", and she had a similar good experience.

they seem to know their business, have a ton of different manufacturer's stuff, and i'm a happy customer.

for whatever that's worth.
