I'm trying a new place for GM parts.
 

Hi I tried to order a steering speed sensor for my 99 Tahoe from GM parts direct 3 times and they didn't process my order because of a problem on their end. So I tried another place for GM parts. I just ordered today so we'll see how it goes. The big difference is GM parts direct wanted $20 shipping and these guys are shipping for nothing through UPS. I don't know about you but $20 for shipping is pretty heavy for this small part. Here's the link to
BestGMparts.net I don't know how their prices are for shipping other parts but the cost for the part was the same as GMpartsdirect. It might be worth a look. Wayne

GMpartsdirect has some good prices, but their shipping is beyond stupid. If you order two of something that would fit in the same box, you still pay full shipping for two items, not a combined rate.

I understand why they do it, to make up for their parts costs being too low. Problem is, once you add in the higher freight the savings gets much closer or even disappears. In my case, when I saw the freight charges and called them on it, they told me they do not combine shipping so I ended up ordering from someone else. The parts prices were good but the freight was a rip-off, so the whole deal became negative to me. I wonder how many sales they lose with this way of doing business.

Speaking for myself, I have gotten to the end of a purchase from them only to cancel due to the ridiculous shipping costs. I presume they are pulling people in with the low prices, and probably sell more than they lose because of it.

Always good to have another place to compare prices :thumbsup: .

Wayne,

I recently needed to replace some dealer items on our Yukon. My local dealer wanted $950.00. I looked online and the price was going to be under $600.00 even with (crazy)shipping. I called my local guy back wanting to keep business and my city if I could. I gave him a link so he knew I was not making it up. He came within $20.00 and I got the parts that day. It was 40% off and he said they still made 15% margin :willy:

Where is this place located? I can't find that info on their website.

Seconded. I bought some stuff from Jeff today. He works the Parts Counter at Day Chevrolet in Georgia and is authorized to give great prices by his management.

I thought about that but couldn't remeber who posted the offer to get parts.
David I just sent an e mail and asked where they are located.

I forget, but I want to say either Jersey or Texas (couldn't be more different huh?:_paranoid ) and that could even be wrong

They are good on the phone also, not just online. I've mainly done my business with them over the phone

I sent my payment to GM parts direct when I tried to order parts and they were asked to cancel the payment on thier end so I could get the money back in my pay pal account three times nothing happened so I called pay pal and had them send two e mails and still nothing. I may have to wait until the payment period passes to get my money back (30 days). They haven't taken the money but they haven't turned down the payment either.

David I just got an e mail back from them. They are located in Hingham, Mass. They are a Chevrolet New Car dealership.

I buy all my parts through Fairway Chevrolet in Las Vegas. Great price and California Customers save the sales tax money with low cost shipping since they are so close. They brought me a bunch of vette stuff yesterday and 2 engines for customer projects. LS9 and LSX 376.

Oops, I thought he was asking where the place I linked was located

Based on this thread, I contacted Jeff Tate. Two thumbs up for a great guy with great prices!
