blows. every time I look up parts they have to ship from a different warehouses. Maybe you all should call Amazon for some tips on how to ship stuff. Great prices ruined by crappy shipping.

I must get lucky with this always. I picked up my Shadow rear brakes for cheaper than the disks alone would have cost from Autozone.

The problem is when you buy from different warehouses. So I was looking 3 items I need.

Idler, coolant over flow and a headlight assembly

idler is super cheap. shipping added on keeps it a couple bucks less than Advance with coupon codes. I need the part ASAP. I'll pay the extra couple bucks to get it tomorrow at the store.

coolant overflow, great price. With Shipping (12bucks) it ends up costing more than I can buy it new on ebay.

Headlight, 40 bucks! shipping 14bucks! same thing on ebay. 45 shipped... 10 bucks more for the same thing.

Now if I buy a different brand's [Economy Line] for 44 bucks it will ship with overflow tank for.... the same 12bucks!!
If I add the same vendor's non-Economy Line for 45 bucks the shipping is the same, 12 bucks even with the other headlight and overflow...


I can't understand how it cost less to ship 2 headlights and a overflow for 12 bucks when it cost 14 bucks for just the 1 headlight from another warehouse.


I would have ordered it if I could have got it all shipped for 12 bucks. Rock has lost almost a grand from me this year because of the shipping issues.

I've had something like that happen to me once. I dropped a couple items off of my list.

I'll bet that I'm in a different boat than you to an extent also. It takes me an absolute minimum of an hour round trip to drive to the parts store. Usually it's much longer than that. I don't mind waiting the two days for the parts vs. driving, but I rarely need something ASAP.

I have bought from the local store several times due to the same issue. Usually I don't need stuff in a hurry, but I don't want to pay double the shipping just to save 5-10 bucks on that one part that's at a separate warehouse.

Now there have been times when even with the extra shipping that it was still cheaper than at the store. And I have bought several things from them that were not available anywhere else (some of my Diplomat parts, for instance). Franzen just has a cloud of bad luck that hangs over him and doesn't allow him good deals very often :p I have seen him spend good money on a brand new "quality" part and have it fail, while I ran stuff scrounged out of the junkyard for years lol.

Well over the last few years, that would be because some $150 "quality" name parts come out of the front door of the same factory in Shanghai that ships $10 Super Rooster Auto inc version out the back door.... I've seen it a dozen times at the parts counter when they've actually stocked a part, side by side on the counter and they're abso-friggin-lutely identical, down to the scratch or ding in the casting mold... in the junkyard you might get a 20 year old part, but it's a 20 year old made in USA/Canada part.

I buy from Advanced on the net and it's shipped to local store free, however the coolant recovery tank [ for the SRT-4] is one off and is probably cheaper from ROCKAUTO, even with shipping. Shipping is killing every one but the people that have large warehouses, usually are the ones that are cheaper. I have also found that the parts from China are made from the same machines that were once in this Country before our Government ran them out of this Country.

I don't think anyone living in the US can complain about shipping until they've lived north of the border for a while. ;) $50 part is easily $100 by the time it gets to my door but sadly still less than the $150 I would have paid at the local parts store. :(

That is our main problem with the usa. We butt are noses into other peoples business and not expect them to get pissed off. I know I get irritated when people get into my business. You probably do too. If not then I have a few questions for you. Did you know that half of our taxes are put into our defense budget. I mean I don't mind because that keeps me employed. Don't get me wrong I am not against the usa at all. I work for them lol. But some policies and the way they do things makes no sense. And believe me when I say that. If we were more like canada and kept to ourselves we would be a more financially stable country. And the government would be able to lower taxes to be able to keep companies and jobs here.

I can't quote all your replies but dude, you need to get your head checked. We are losing alot of company's to China, look at Air Canada's maintenance crew as one that recently headed to Asia.

As for jobs, we hire whomever's cheaper, which around Vancouver, are East Indians, there is no such policy about hiring locals first, we actually get hired last unless we speak punjab, chinese and are dark skinned, sounds racist but very true.

Immigrants get free health care, money to move here, special rate bank accounts and mortgages, free eyewear and the list is endless vs us locals have to pay and pay dearly, and they get a pension after 7 years-I know of one grandma who gets more than my retired parents and she's never worked a day in her life in this country. WTF?

I do agree with you that our government has stuck our nose in hundreds of places it doesn't need to be. None of the wars in the last 60 years should have involved us, or at least not at the scale we have been.

You are definitely out of touch with both countries' policies. Tax free for 7 years? Maybe if you are from India or Pakistan. Not hard to become a citizen? Maybe not if you are Russian or African, or European. I haven't talked to an English immigrant yet that didn't have problems, most still are. Mexicans are getting ****ed left and right lately too. Even Americans trying to immigrant into Canada have a hard time.

Autozone isn't in the running but Advance gives out really good coupon codes if you buy online and pick up in store. like 30 off of 100 and 20 off of 50. 20 off of 50 is 40% off!

Don't know if anybody RockAuto is reading this, but what I would like is some indication of what warehouse a part is coming from (or estimated shipping time.) Is it from the one that will get to me quickly or is the warehouse across the country and it will take a week? I have received parts from the close warehouse on the next day with standard ground shipping.

Several times I have been debating between two (or more) parts and if I knew one was at a closer warehouse, I would definitely get it... A couple of times I would have made the purchase from RockAuto if I knew the part would get to me in a day or two instead of a week.

amazon.com....

Last week I tried to order 2 wheel hub assemblies from them, along with a set of brake pads and assorted other parts for a front end rebuild. I tried to add a pair of ball joints to the order and it went from 1 location to 5... :confused: deleted 1 ball joint from the order and it went down to 3, deleted the other and it went back to 1. I ended up cancelling the hubs and getting them from Amazon for the same price and flat $10 shipping and playing with the rest of the cart to get shipping within a reasonable level.


Dont bother calling cause you'll just get the same canned responce about choosing a different part which isnt always possible or desirable.

Went to order Rancho shocks for a Dakota...3 from one warehouse, one from a different warehouse. Added another shipping charge for the "loner" shock, so I started looking around.

Ended-up I bought 'em from 4 wheel parts for a little less and free shipping.

I still buy a lot of parts from RA, but that goofy shipping costs them my business regularly.

Had an instance lately, was going to order ball joints at 6 bucks a piece. I added one and went to the cart to find 6 dollar shipping, I then made the quantity 2 and the shipping doubled. Everything I added increased the shipping by at least 6 bucks. Why no discount for throwing everything in one box.

I have found RA is only good if you need 1 or 2 items. Once you get more than that, the shipping games begin. And believe me, they are games.

I dont remember exactly what I was ordering, but it was 5 or 6 parts I needed during the motor swap in my SL. I had 4 parts in my cart, and they all shipped from the same warehouse. Once I added the 5th part, 3 of my 5 items now shipped from different warehouses. That made no sense to me at all, so I pulled the first part out of my cart and we were back to all shipping from the same warehouse. So, at that point I was pretty sure every part I wanted was in fact in the same warehouse. I suppose there is a slim chance in HELL they have 5 warehouses and each of them had 4 of the 5 SKUs I needed (all different combinations). To me it seemed more like they were just trying to milk me for some shipping charges though.

I ended up ordering a few of the parts elsewhere just because RA annoyed me. I still order small things from them. In fact, just ordered a new TPS. Well, new as in it was from 1988 and was made by Mopar in a different manufacturers box. That was a pleasant (and welcome) surprise.

Playing "devils advocate" as it were, not particularly knowing how their system is set up... but I would expect to see some behaviour that "looked like that" if they had a truly smart shipping system. The reason is, that you will eventually put numerous enough, heavy enough or large enough parts in the basket that it requires more than one package. When that happens, it would be smart of it to allocate parts such as were available to a nearer warehouse, since the shipment was going to be split anyway, even if that nearer warehouse didn't have the full order.

^^ Actually you are right and wrong......I used to sell automated shipping software. If you've ever noticed when you go to USPS,FEdex,UPS... they ALWAYS give you to most expensive shipping option first, but I've ordered from RA and have noticed they charge by item numbers, not weight. For example go to any shippers website and input a box size that will hold 10 sensors, if the sensor weighs .5 oz the actually cost will only increase for the actuall wgt, b/c all the shippers charge DIM wgt now(dimensional size of the package). So the same should be applied in RA's case. That's why I only buy a few things at a time from RA.

RoadWarrior222
09-03-2012, 11:30 AM
Yah, parts that have a heck of a lot of manufacturer packaging, i.e. "air" around them in the box, will tend to push up shipping disproportionately due to the volumetric weight thing.

Playing "devils advocate" as it were, not particularly knowing how their system is set up... but I would expect to see some behaviour that "looked like that" if they had a truly smart shipping system. The reason is, that you will eventually put numerous enough, heavy enough or large enough parts in the basket that it requires more than one package. When that happens, it would be smart of it to allocate parts such as were available to a nearer warehouse, since the shipment was going to be split anyway, even if that nearer warehouse didn't have the full order.

Of course that is one possible explanation... but I was ordering SMALL parts. 3 of my 5 items were belts (timing, alt, ps). Then I had a head gasket and head bolts. Not exactly large or heavy items. At least that is what I am pretty sure I was trying to order at the time.
