Impressive, considering all the stories you hear about shipping delays with Covid and Christmas and cross border and all.

Most places are still processing an order received on a Friday afternoon on the following Tuesday?

Ordered a set of ac delco spark plugs for the old 62 283, $1.71 each + shipping, was ordering a couple of things for the Tacoma as well.

Sorry, $1.71 was before the CP discount, net would be about $1.62, dollar is strong now too.

Rock Auto partners with many suppliers. I have ordered parts from them for a great price and when I received the parts the shipping label had indicated that the parts were shipped from a Scarborough Ontario address. Your spark plugs may have been shipped from Canada.

It shows on shipping FedEx in Tennessee as origin.

I've found them to be particularly easy about returns, too. Not always the case with online merchants.

Thats quick. My EBay purchase is still stuck at the global shipping centre. Not car related. The seller mailed it out the same day as I paid for it, two days later it was at the global shipping centre. It will be interesting to see when it arrives here.

I ordered a washer pump for the truck on a Saturday and I had it on the following Tuesday. I was blown away as delivery was quoted as being on the following Friday. Better than Amazon.

I ordered from them on Monday. I needed the part as soon as possible, couldn't find it anywhere in Manitoba. Piddly little part, worth 10 bucks. Rock Auto said January 4th and as much as I hated that, I had to admit that was about my only option.

Today is Thursday, the parts are sitting on my kitchen counter as of an hour ago. Absolutely amazing. $13 Cdn for freight and taxes. I'm a happy camper to say the least!

My eBay order was shipped on the 14th, arrived yesterday. Not too bad I guess from Southern California.

Rock Auto's service is superb in cost, convenience and delivery time.  If they have what I need I go to them first.

I can honestly say that the other suppliers (one Canadian, two US) I have dealt with during this past 18 months have been very slow on delivery, and in some cases also quite costly depending on which carrier they are using.
