Please post if you have ever bought anything from GMPARTSDIRECT.com

How was the shipping, such as packaging and turnaround time?

I did a search but nothing came up. I ma hoping for positive experiences as they have the LT4 timing set for 210 and even Dal from VanDevere is asking 242.00

Thanks.

 

If you have "Faith" in a personless system, have more time than money, and believe that the part will not be broken during transit. Go for it.

IF you worry about a broken part, need to ask a question, or want your money back....go somewhere else.

I used them and will never use them again.

 

My experience with them sucked.

Obscene shipping charges combined with unresponsive customer service and botched shipping address... Never again.

By the way, you may want to post this in the lounge instead as this is an engine tech forum.

 

I've ordered from them a few times. The prices are lower than Dal's but the shipping cost is insane... add that timing set to your cart and look at the shipping to see what I mean.

They can be quite slow to ship as well, but I've never gotten a broken item from them.

 

Shipping is high but their prices are low. You'll be waiting for a bit for your parts possibly too so take that into account.

I've done quite a bit of business and never had a problem, though.

 

My experience is that service and price is better going through Jason. If its Gm and I need it new, go Jason.

If its aftermarket.... theres a bigilion places. But I will give a plug for victory racing, they recently treated me well.

They are a compitent retailer. My only complaint is that more than $5 for shipping for a lt4 knock module is crazy.

 

I guess I'm one of the few so far with a good report.... I ordered an LT4 knock module last month for 42.00 shipped to my door. I received it in three days and they sent me a free "GM Parts Direct" baseball cap with my order. I will probably order from then again in the future.

 

I've had no problems with them. I will ONLY buy from them IF I cannot get it elsewhere.

Like stated above, shipping charges are REDICULOUS!

 

I've ordered from them a few times - no problems.

 

I will do a little rant about ridiculous shipping charges... I was originally going to order my LT4 KM from Miami Motorsports, they wanted a ridiculous 20.00 to ship that "little chip" to my house. The total price was around 67.00 if I remember correctly. That immediately led me to GMPartsDirect where I got it much cheaper.

 

When you buy from gmpartsdirect you have to look at the TOTAL cost and forget about shipping charges, If the total cost is lower then the Dealer, its a good deal. So stop bitching about shipping charges you dont have to buy there.

 

ordered quite a few things from them. Shipping is high, but their prices are so low that you don't even care to pay a little more for shipping. Way better than any auto parts store or dealer, unless you know someone at the dealer. I have never had any issues, and always received my parts within a weeks time. I've heard backordered parts can take up to two weeks for delivery. Helps if you have that giant PDF file with all the diagrams and part numbers.

 

I ordered ebrake brackets for my LS1 rear end from them and they ended up shipping me a control module for an Astro Van. I called and they said they'd send out the brackets, but I never got them. Luckily I found the ones that came with the rear end so I said **** it. I'll go elsewhere next time.

 

they suck it took like three weeks to get my optispark from them, and there is none there who can help you
