Mike brings up a good point. If you only need a few small parts, it is
sometimes cheaper & more expedient to order them through a local shop. Most
Brit Car repair shops can order parts from one of the big 3. What you
spend extra over a "sale" price is saved in shipping as they usually don't
charge you the shipping. Plus you help keep them in business. If you are
doing a large order during sale times, that isn't a good option although
British Parts Connection can save additional $ on Moss & VB orders.

I used to deal with them when I first started doing TR's in 1982. They
seemed like a pretty good group. Although their prices seemed to be on the
high side. I would get a catalog from Moss, The Roadster Factory, and
Victoria British and compare prices. They all have web pages, including S&C.
I might use them if I could drive there and pickup a need part in a hurry to
forego the shipping cost.
Here's the links if you don't already have them.
