Buying parts off amazon

[HermanM]

Just curious if anyone on here has happened to buy any parts of amazon (clutch, carpets, dash caps, etc) and how they worked out

I haven't had any problems. I can't remember what all I've ordered that way. It's about like using RockAuto.

It's like buying from Rock Auto, because chances are...you are buying from Rock Auto.

Amazon doesn't stock any autoparts (or TV's, cameras, computers, dishware...), they are a subscription sales/search engine. Companies pay Amazon a percentage of the sale as a finders fee.

Yeah I know they subcontract out, but some stuff I can get for free shipping via amazon and they have guarantees on the stuff they sell

Thanks guys

I haven't yet bought Z parts, but have bought a lot of things for my chevy trucks and my daughter's Kia. Perhaps $1500 or so in the past 6 months. Multiple items may have multiple shipping points and thus a little extra in shipping but have found everything to be exactly what I ordered and shipped promptly. And almost every time cheaper than ebay. I now find the description and info on ebay and then look at Amazon before I order. It isn't that I am cheap, it is that I'm poor. There is a difference........

That hilarious, I'm completely with you on that. But I'm also a bargain shopper. Why pay more for the same product if i can get it for a cheaper price and still retain the good quality?

I've gotten many parts and tools from amazon.com for my engine rebuild. I too prefer them over ebay, never paid a shipping charge, it's always been priced more than their $25 minimum or I guess I've always made it priced more than $25. Easy to do! No hassle or charge if you have to return something.

I will second the ease and success of buying parts on Amazon. I bought lots of Moog suspension parts for 2000 4Runner when I had it and Amazon had the best price by far. I have bought lots of tools from them and was always happy with the purchase and shipping. They don't have many Z parts but I see a few consoles and things on occasion.

Yeah, ok the same with the tools. I've picked up a lot if tool and stands from amazon plus manuals. It's been a great source. I'm just yet to purchase any actual car parts
