Any dealer selling parts at a discount?

I used to get my MB parts at a significant discount from MB of Gainesville, but they stopped doing that. Can anyone recommend a dealer who sells parts at a discount?

I didn't do any comparing to that parts.com (first time I've heard of it), but there's a company in CT called FCP Euro (I've even seen the actual warehouse/store) that sells genuine MB (along with other options such as OE). I've found their prices to be fair, BUT... the big thing with FCP is that they guarantee all their parts for LIFE. Even things like brakes and wiper blades. If it wear out, they will replace it. I know, sounds strange - I didn't believe it at first, either. But I've bought from them a number of times over the years for various cars and they are an upstanding company with real live people to talk to. Haven't had to use the warranty, yet, though. Just another thought!
