If Rock Auto doesn't have it, then the prices are 3-5 times what you would normally expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 never noticed that....the problem I have with rockauto is the slamming of shipping fees....I have filled my cart an item at a time...item one ships from point A then item two will ship from point B and item three will ship from point C and so on....so you go back, change the brand of the part where it says item two will now ship from point A, lo and behold, item one now ships from point B.....it is a racket I tell you.....I use rock auto mainly as a clearing house for part numbers due to this shipping scam they have going on. Where I did complete A and B on one order, it shipped in same box....is point A front of the store and point B the middle and so on and so forth?

Sometimes I just wait and order the problem item later. But know what you mean. I use the part # from RA like you said, and go to Amazon if I'm in a hurry.

Sniper Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Rock auto will show you what part listed will ship from the same warehouse as another part in your cart. If you are looking at a part listing and one of the part number shows a little pinkish truck next to it then it will ship from the same ware house as another part in your cart.

We know that..but what happens is it will switch sources, and can do that within a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJon Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Rock Auto's shipping is Slow to manage, frustrating and confusing at best. I often take several hours to place an order. I still often find the best prices there. However, especially for large heavy stuff, like brake rotors or struts, I also check the online parts house. Advance Auto almost always has a 20-25% off code, ships for free if over $50-75 and you can often pick stuff up, same day, in a local store. I have found similar deals at Napa, O'Reilly's and Vato Zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I ever seen it do that is if you tried to order more than one warehouse had on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YukonJack Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Gotta love how posts get hijacked. But I've noticed it happens all the time! How did we get on Rock Auto? I really miss the Old Forum, but since I'm have regained Newbie status I guess the Old Forum is just a memory. Back to my corner to sit in silence!

Plymouthy Adams Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 Bob, unless you still seeing the pop up notification to badges earned and displayed on your profile, GTK has found the switches and has deleted these pushes for now. I know these are no longer showing on my pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
