I used to use GM Parts Direct and never had an issue receiving what I ordered, etc. Last year though, after getting a wrong part number from GM Parts Direct and being out $60.00+ because they wouldn't let me return the part even though it was their mistake, I discovered GM Parts Center.net and have been using them ever since. I have ordered from GM Parts Center 5 or 6 times now without any issues whatsoever. They offer free shipping on everything except oversized items i.e. wheels, engines, hoods, etc. They do charge a $7.99 handling fee on every order, but this is nothing compared to GM Parts Direct's automatic $12.95 shipping charge, even for the tiniest item. GM Parts Center also does coupon codes quite often (they list them on their homepage) where they will offer 5% off your entire order, 10% off any order over $100, etc. I have taken advantage of their coupon codes a couple times and have saved quite a bit of money. I highly recommend them.shanghei wrote:Are any of the two part websites in the first post reputable? It seems gm parts direct has cheaper prices but horrid reviews online.
I have ordered parts from GM Parts Direct before only to get an "out of stock" e-mail a couple of days later. Once it was for a bolt, which was kind strange to me. Thanks for the heads up on the GM Parts Center. I will have to check them out. RockAuto and PartsGeek are starting to get a little bare on things that are not general maintenance parts.vibenvy wrote:I used to use GM Parts Direct and never had an issue receiving what I ordered, etc. Last year though, after getting a wrong part number from GM Parts Direct and being out $60.00+ because they wouldn't let me return the part even though it was their mistake, I discovered GM Parts Center.net and have been using them ever since.
