They need a shipping discount code. Find a cheap part, pay twice the amount to ship it.

Rock Auto is not always the cheapest. I found an engine turning tool at, of all places, Lowes on line. Delivered to the house, or pick up at the local store, for $18 and some change (tax included). Best price anyplace else was at least $2 more.

I've found that Amazon beats Rockauto a lot, AND no shipping.

Pretty much where I get everything now. Even if their part price is higher it beats RA once they had shipping. RA wanted 150 to ship a fender for my Silverado while it was free (even without Prime) from Amazon.
I have also found that they have some sellers that supply very well built parts. Hands down the best aftermarket B Body radiator I have ever seen. Good starter and Alt as well.

That is very true. While I was searching for parts for my truck I found things that could be bought through Wal Mart for pretty darn good prices.

Have never bought anything I have found as I don't really trust it. All of big business is evil though and they have all killed off the small competition. I have spent 22 years of my 30 year career in smaller businesses, they aren't exactly saints either. Common thought today is that anyone with considerable wealth achieved it by screwing others over and in some ways they are correct.
