Help! Where is the best place to order parts?

We are finally going to start some work on my VW and were wanting to get some suggestions as to the best places to order parts. We're looking at Wolfsburgwest to order the seat covers, headliner, carpet and mats. Are there any suggestions as to where to order the best seals. I noticed one site sold ...
