Any 3rd party websites that don't charge $5 (to prove lower fare for low fare guarant

I found a lower fare on orbitz than on aa.com. Orbitz is adding an extra $6 so it really should even be $6 less. Are there any 3d party sites where tickets can be bought without a service fee?
Thanks!

(For the curious, I am going FLL-DFW-SFO on 2/27 and SJC-DFW-MIA-MCO on 3/7. orbitz has $212. At first aa.com prices at $206 [what orbitz would be without fee] but then it errors when you try and purchase, and will not purchase at any price. support helped me by fiddling with res and I bought online at $253. the rub is obviously how the MIA-MCO is pricing. orbitz and aa are initially pricing it just as a connection on the return whereas the $253 prices it as a separate one way)
