1. Go to rockauto.com.
2. Choose your make, year, model.
3. Next to your engine size, click the little orange RSS logo.
4. On the page it opens, look on the right side with the heading “Love a Bargain?” Click the little blue HTML button.

Shipping to Canada is crazy....Hardly shop there anymore unfortunatly. Tried ordering a shifter repair kit for my 02. The price was good at $32 but the shipping doubled the price so I checked Amazon and $33 with free shipping. I miss Rockauto. Cheers from frozen Saskatchewan

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

What CorbinsRanger wrote. Unfortunately here in the US too. I was going to order a drive belt. At 17 and change, it was a bargain until I included shipping. I can the correct belt (88") instead for their 85.5" belt for $4 cheaper at the local parts store. Unfortunate too because I know they sponsor the site :(

It seems to have gotten worse in the last couple years....I used to order from them alot. Now...not so much as I would like to. It's a great company.

I always check them, and I order a lot of odds and ends from them, but their shipping has doubled in the past year. Ordering a bunch of small stuff that all fits in one box.

The bulky stuff, like body panels or rad support, are never a good deal from them, shipping always kills it. Might be another $100 on eBay, but there is free shipping.

I almost always double check prices on Amazon, summit, and eBay. Since they all tend to have free shipping. It's usually a crap shoot, but I can normally find one that is significantly cheaper then the other three for some reason.

Sometimes I check Jegs, LMR, LMC, americanmuscle too, but it depends on what I'm looking for.

I just visited their site and put 2 items in the cart. A front bumper valance and a grill for my 02 FX4. The parts were a great price...$175 for both pieces. Wait for it......wait.....$1618.56 for shipping for a total of $1986.00. Wow. I can get them both in Canada for $60 more per item but free shipping. As soon as it crosses the border...all hell breaks loose. What happened to free trade?

Those are some awesome prices for name brands. If you could just fill a UPS truck it might average out according to the last 6 posts :/

I just got a good deal on a blinker for an old dodge off this. Half the price, even with $9 shipping, then anywhere else.
