Despite everything going on with the USPS they managed to get me my part in three days, even though I selected the cheapest shipping option. It’s a similar story every single time I’ve ever ordered from them.

Always nice to be pleasantly surprised, good on you Rockauto!

I’ve been similarly well served by their delivery times and I’m in Canada. They’re also one of the few companies who will ship across the border and have all duties and customs charges laid out and paid for up front instead of having the carrier stick me with the cost upon arrival (without knowing how much it’ll be beforehand).

Rock Auto gets my business for any non-mod car part purchases whenever it’s possible.

The reason I don’t order from Rick Auto is because of their shipping. Every order I have ever placed has had to ship from two warehouses and I had to pay for shipping twice. No thanks.  I can get the same parts for the same price from someone else.

During the height of the Covid shutdown, amazon and one other entity canceled three out of three online orders of mine. RockAuto fulfilled all theirs and I got the parts stupid fast. Not always the best price (but sometimes they are), but sometimes time is of the essence.

I always end up doing the “find the more expensive but cheaper because it ships from the same warehouse” shuffle with them. As someone else said though, I’m in Canada so my other options are not as plentiful.

Rockauto is damned awesome.  I've been buying parts from them since not long after they started about 20 years ago and had one warehouse in WI.  They have never done me wrong, and in all those years the only mistake they ever made was promptly fixed with new parts overnighted to me.

I used to use RockAuto, now they won’t ship to me because of the municipal taxes or some stupid shit.
