GTPrix Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm sure some of you guys have bought from GM Parts Direct before. How is their shipping rates and whatnot? I heard that its kinda a pain to order from them? Any insight would be nice... Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo57509 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 It's not too much of a pain. However, I've found it much easier if you have a part number, though. Their "alternative" catalog is sometimes vague in their descriptions of the part. Shipping isn't exactly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbui3057 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I just ordered a master window switch for my z34. They didn't have a picture of it so I emailed them. They responded instantly. I ordered my part on 3/18 and it arrived on 3/29. He said it was a special order item that he didn't have in stock so it was going to take a little longer. I paid $8 for shipping UPS ground. Overall I thought it was a very easy experience. I just used the catalog that they had. I would do it again if I'm not in much of a hurry for a part.

SigEpCutlass Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 yea you definately need to have the part number. i've found that the alternative part catalog isn't 100% accurate always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john99gtp Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 if your ordering stuff for your grand prix, goto clubgp.com and look under their parts list (http://www.clubgp.com/cgi-asp/partslist.asp) I used this and has helped out a bunch. gives you the GM part number for what you want. you could always goto a GM dealer, tell them what you need, and they could give you a part number, then go buy it, but that can be a pain.

Daggar Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Shipping to Canada is a bitch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPrix Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Yeah, I need an air dam for the front, and strut towet braces. I did find the part numbers on clubgp, so I should be all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Yeah, I meant to tell you Drew, that you should get the part numbers from the dealer. Umm, when I ordered from them I never found the shipping to be too expensive. But do you plan on getting front and rear airdams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo231 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I have ordered quite a bit from them. Yes, prices are low, but as they clearly state, they make their money in the shipping. That being said, even with shipping, they do totally slaughter local dealer prices. I've got parts books for my cars, but if GM supersedes it with a new number, it won't recognize the old number.

mfewtrail Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 For what it's worth, my last order from them was for some parts that totaled $65. They charged $15 for shipping/handling(handling was $9, shipping was $8). Even after shipping, I saved right at $50, so I'm not complaining.
