Parts! Bend over AND smile! short rant!

I generally hate most everything about Amaon/

I agree, Rocks many warehouses sucks, but like a guy showed me, hit every brand of that part and after you have shopped pick the best shipping. Never order just one part either.

Mark up at O Reilly or any other chain is usually 2 to 4 time more than at Rock and Rock no doubts makes profit $$$$.

For years in Canada we have been bent over a dry rose bush purchasing parts. When we can order from the US, pay exchange, duty and shipping and still be cheaper. Have to shop around though. Bringing in a few items is expensive. This is where the local stores on some things are a bargain.
Take buying CarTech books, the shipping kills us. And we pay shipping. The performance store has a number of the books with cost pretty much with just the exchange rate. Problem there is they only get books in a couple of times a year and they may not get what you are looking for. The last one I brought in was Billy Godbold's Cams and Valvetrains book. Over $100 CDN landed in my PO Box.
