I used to order freshwater fishes from them and fish arrived alive, ontime and healthy without diseases.
Also, most species in your list are readily available in most LFS and the shipping from online order would make your $2 dollars fish value become at least 3 times higher depend on how many fish your order at 1 time.
wetspot tropical fish on the west coast is another popular place for some oddballs
Tangled Up in Cichlids is a good place for cichlids.
DiscusHansUSA is a good place for discus. Also, Uncle Sam's Discus has gotten a lot of praise, although they've only been around a few years.
Checking out what's in your LFS isn't a bad idea either.

Depending on where you are from, there may be breeders of these fairly common fish in your area, especially if you are from a major city.
And one of the best ways to find out is thru your local aquarium society.
Large cities like Chicago have more than one, (the green water aquarium society and greater Chicago cichlid association) and they each hold auctions and swap meets, where angel fish and others you mention come up every 3rd or 4th bag. And many of these fish are already acclimatized to your specific areas water conditions.
And many states have similar groups, I have been to meeting in Tamps, Detroit, Milwaukee Chicago and others, where members sell, trade, and auction off fish at every meeting..
