Default Re: parts wanted

I do the same as you Thunderbird, whatever is the most convenient. I have found with Rockauto that you need to experiment when ordering to try and get the parts consolidated out of as few origins as possible. Don't forget all their parts are shipped to Aust. from LAX so in some cases have to find their way from the other side of the US.

As regards their shipping cost as I work in freight forwarding I can tell you it is ridiculously cheap considering it is a door to door service. It only gets expensive when ordering larger parts like body panels and that's when freight forwarding becomes cheaper.

I did this when I had to replace my bonnet their shipping cost was over $2500 whereas I got it for half that.

Hope this helps.
