Parts Discount
 

I wanted to buy 303 Aerospace 303 protectant for my car. An 8 ounce bottle at Zeller's was $14.99, at Lordco it's $8.99. They sell a refill size by the gallon $95.99 but sold it for $85.99 at Lordco. The sales girl at Lordco ask me if I had a car club discount. I mentioned the BCTFB but nothing there. I didn't think so anyways. She punched in the B.C. Hot Rod Association and I got another 30% off. :bow: So I bought a gallon for the price of four eight ounce bottles. I know some of you guys get the discount but I'm just wondering if we can get discounts like that we might draw more members. :cool:

Lordco makes up there prices outa nowhere , there regular prices never actually get charged its just a mater of getting 20 , 30 or 50 % off depending on there mood and how important you can make yourself look :rolleyes: There notorious for this crap . . . I can price out a part at two locations and the diff can be in the 100 $ plus range depending on the part . . . phone back the next day and get a whole new set of prices . . . its like the slot machine at the cassinos man :)

i hear ya .. even if the lordco knows u and uve been shopping threre for 3 years they still act like a slot machine ..

one day hook u up like mad, next day charge u up the ass

I got tired of that and asked for a discount card. They simply asked what orgs I belonged to, then gave me a SCCBC (Sports Car Club of BC) 30% discount card that works at all their stores.

PS Steve, I have the P/N for the cap : 12555685 but my GM parts guy is still searching his computer for my old records for the Mobil 1 label P/N. He's gonna call me tomorrow.

Not sure if its true, but i heard if you say you work for the city the discount is even bigger than 30%

i know because i own a company i get a certain discount too. i forget what it is..

only ever used it in kamloops.

When I worked for Telus - I got a 30% discount.
I now work for Chilliwack School District #33 - I still get 30% off......
They never ask to see ID, the last time I went in I told them I work for Telus - just to see if they would check - alas no.
It doesn't seem to make any difference to them.
They are as eager to give me a "discount" as I am to recieve it.:rolleyes:

Just don't shop at Lordco, there are lot's of other stores that give out reasonable prices.

i got a buddy that works for the city of burnaby, still 30%

I could shop somewhere else but that was a better price even if I ordered it on-line. Larry, thanks for the cap number but I already have the cap but I do need the number for the mobil 1 plaque. Thanks.

City of Vancouver employees get the best deals there...40% I was told. I asked for a price and gave him a discount card (the regular 30%) which is pretty standard. As I was leaving I told him that I worked for the city of Vancouver and he called me back over to the counter and took another 10%!!!

OK, here ya go: P/N 10236268. My guy came through this morning, but I neglected to ask him the price, sorry.

Thanks alot for the part number Larry. I would have thanked you earlier but I was away from the computer for a couple of days. Hope to see you and Barb soon. ;)
