The problem with them is they wont tell you how much shipping is going to be. In this day and age why cant they have that built right into the website? Everyone except Ta performance does. And that is why I don't order from them either. They have great parts and I would guess good service, but this is 2017. Rockauto, amazon, ebay and any number of other sites make online ordering and getting it to your door less the hassle in a seem less manner. Get with it or get left behind like sears did.

When I ordered the bumper fillers for my wagon (still need to install them...) (I think it was MikesMontes.co m) I looked at the price for shipping to Canada and the US that was auto generated by the shopping cart.  I was a bit alarmed because it was so high - so I called and talked to a sales rep, and got a much better price on shipping over the phone to my door.  Sometimes a little more leg work is necessary to get the best overall value - they also marked down the value of the parts (risky) when they shipped them and saved me the charges at the door (I know they were trying to do me a favour).

Eric has his shipping prices listed...just check the one you want. The other vendors I call and let them know how I want it shipped. They've always been helpful.

It saddens me to bring this up but Gbody provides a lot of parts to a lot of vendors. You may be feeding the bull

And I will gladly buy from those other venders. The years of poor service, empty promises and burning down a customer car turn me off from sending money to them

To be fair Brian has not screwed up any of my orders, not that I have bought anything since. I can understand a lawyer telling him to admit no liability but to leave Clay hanging like that is unconscionable . The PR cost alone should have prompted him to make it right let alone morally. I don't get it.

I wonder if thepartsplace is the same guy that was reselling everybodys stuff on ebay at marked up prices?
