Default Reliable online swap shops. do they exist???

I have the money and have been ready to drop a h22a in my EG(cx) and just about got fuct over the other day(this local place told me they had a complete swap,and when my buddies and I drove there it turned out is was missing tranny,ecu and this and that was cut up). I heard people on honda-tech say Osaka sucks ***, I've heard people say PasswordJDM isn't good, I've heard of HMO, JDMfaze, hybridrevolution, and ocmotorsports as well. But I'm scared as hell to order over the net cause they could send me anything they want and there goes my cash. Who's Reliable or is there such a thing.....

PasswordJDM is great, and I've heard good stuff about HMO as well. I am actually picking my engine up from Osaka, since it's only about a 4 hr. trip. This way I get to pick out which one I want, and I don't have to worry about shipping costs or damages.

IAS seems to be very good, as well as having great customer service... even if it is a little expensive

Osaka has ripped A LOT of people off, do a search people, there are archives for a reason, I only buy my motors from IAS, guarenteed clean and with everything included. Down to a big grab bag of bolts.

Theres no way in hell id make a big purchase such as a swap online, i dont care how reputable the company is. IMO if you cant drive to pick up the motor its not worth it. I bought mine from osaka, but only becuase it was within driving distance, good luck.
