Went to order parts for the Expedition that I had looked up before just to find them no longer listed or change manufacturer. And a price increase. I was looking at 560.00 for everything. Now it was 776.00. Three different shipping charges from three different warehouses. on top of that 55.00 in tax. :'(

Guess I need to look around at places and price shop with free delivery.

I've had the shippings/warehouses change a lot on me when adding/removing parts from the cart.
Once I actually emptied the cart and started over when some of the parts suddenly changed warehouse and were more for shipping and it "distributed" the parts differently between warehouses of origin...

There's he little logo that says "ships from same warehouse as part in cart" which is handy but sometimes some parts that were from A suddenly move themselves to B when you order a new part.

Usually still cheaper with shipping tax and duty than getting parts locally (in Canada)

You could probably sell the Expedition for enough to put an automatic in the Mustang :)

You can play around with your cart and pick parts that will all come from 1-2 places instead of 3-4, this can really help with shipping.

Sometimes Rockauto has the best prices, sometimes they do not.
I order stuff from all over the place! Summit racing, jegs, 4wparts, amazon, Ebay, Autozone and rockauto. Basically as an informed consumer spending mucho mucho dinero on auto parts for myself and my customers I do my best to get the best parts at the best prices

I have a rockauto discount code if you need it PM me
