anybody dealt with WWW.Rockauto.com

Hello there has anybody dealt with www.Rockauto.com ? I was introduced to their site the other night and although they are not F-body specific they seem to have quite a few parts for my Camaro my question is that the prices seem to good to be true on a lot of the stuff and I was wondering if someone has bought from them before

First rate. BTW, should you choose to purchase from them, make sure you use the discount code.

Re: anybody dealt with WWW.Rockauto.com

ive bought a side signal lens and head lens for a corolla from them, ive also bought an egr solenoid. i hate waiting. But i like to buy the parts the month before i do anything anyways, but the shipping bites me in the lower back side. but the prices on the products are awesome, although the sub contract a lot of the parts.

I have used them many times, not just for the 85' Firebird, but for the 65 Olds 88. High quality, reasonable shipping, and fast service. A++

Re: anybody dealt with WWW.Rockauto.com

one thing to watch for, is when you order multiple parts, they do have an indicator if one is coming from the same warehouse as the other stuff in your cart. e.g. it might be cheaper to spend a few more bucks on that type of item if it comes from the same warehouse as your other stuff (shipping costs).
i ordered a dozen items, and have about 5 locations being shipped from. so then the shipping price was much higher than if I maybe paid a few more bucks for a different item coming from a common warehouse (yeah i went back and checked on a few, but didn't feel like another hour online to try to consolidate and save another 5 or 10$)

A BIG

Recently bought a set of rear PBR caliper repair kits from them. An item either none of the local parts store could get or they wanted to charge more than twice the price.
