Am I the only one who has noticed that Rock Auto has fallen straight into the crap hole of late?
What hasn't fallen into the crap hole lately?
All costs are up, shipping times longer, low stock, etc..

$6 diesel will do that...I've used them quite frequently. I've noticed shipping has gotten insane, but that seems to be across the board everywhere. I've only had two issues with RockAuto orders, and one was the fault of the shipping company. Both were handled immediately.
When I need more than 1 item, they almost always ship from different warehouses so you get dinged separate shipping for each item.When I need something for one of my vehicles, I start at RA to get part numbers, then do online pricing. The RA price is almost always cheapest but the shipping tips the scale toward Amazon, eBay, Advance, etc. Sometimes RA comes out on top, but not often.
With my discounts the parts I order cost me no more than $10 over what I would pay Rock Auto and Advance Auto doesn't treat me like dirt.
I am sure there was a time when Rock Auto might have been good but now I just want them to close their doors and stop wasting people's time.
I know, right?The problem I have with Rock Auto is the shipping cost especially when they are shipping from multiple warehouses and the lack of quality parts for many vehicles, they do offer a lot of trash for short money but it is not worth buying.
I mostly buy Elements 3 calipers, rotors and pads from them the rest is usually coming from the dealer at close to the same price or lower and they bring it to my door the same day if its in stock or the next day usually before 9 am.
AAP needs it because they are a joke. I can buy oil and other items much cheaper at my local drug store.Your post sounded like an advertisement for Advance Auto Parts
