anyone have any experience with R&D car parts?

I've been looking for motor mounts for my 91 740 sedan aw70 and all that i've found has been aftermarket brands which i've found a lot of negative feedback about online. I'd considered getting the yoshifab solid mounts but i don't want the vibrations i've heard about. Then I came across R&D car parts, (https://www.rendcarparts.com/en) and they have a couple of options for motor mounts on my car. The one i was looking at was this one https://www.rendcarparts.com/volvo/parts/1329428-1378657-3514389/RD1378657A , under manufacturer they list "own label" so i assume that means it's something they've manufactured? I've been unable to find any reviews/experiences at all with this company, aside from a video I watched on replacing 740 brake shoes where the guy got his shoes from R&D (which is also where I learned about the company) and recommended them. Anyone have any experience with this company?

    Having tried both aftermarket and Genuine Volvo motor mounts, I strongly recommend the latter.

      That's what I've heard and would like to go oem, but I can't find them anywhere and neither can my shop.

        Some of this may be the current supply chain issues. Have you tried the Volvo dealership?

          I've called the dealership, they told me the part is out of production, Volvo no longer offers it.

          It's not that I've found listings for oem mounts and they're out of stock or backordered, I can't find listings period. I don't think anyone is selling these anymore at all.

          I'm starting to get worried honestly with the trouble I have finding parts for my car, especially it being Regina :(

            Have you tried places like IPD, or FCP? I wonder how much of this is supply chain issues. We are all in trouble if there are no mounts out there. Good luck.

              Yeah, IPD just had unbranded aftermarket ones, FCP had a few but I don't think any were oem, and either all or all but 1 were backordered with no estimation of when they'll be available. Hopefully it's just supply chain as you said

    R&D Carparts is a company based in the Netherlands (my country) and I have bought stuff from them in the past.

    I'm not overwhelmed with the quality of their remanufactured items. Some items are OK, but some (like the sunvisor clips for my 245) were really so bad that they were actually useless. They also sell stuff that they get from the German supplier Skandix.

    Now Skandix, I'm much more impressed with. Their remanufactured items are OK (at least the things I ordered from them) and they seem to carry more OEM and genuine Volvo parts as well.
