Unlike the other's simping for Rock Auto. I agree. Last few times I tried to get parts for one of the three cars in my household it ended up being cheaper/better to get them elsewhere, be it Summit Racing (luckily live 10 minutes from it), local parts store, or another companies website.
Not just the shipping costs, but if I order multiple items at the same time they shouldn't charge me a shipping charge for each item just because it comes from a different warehouse.
THIS ↑↑↑ is so true & so pertinent in this thread and makes a world of difference in shipping charges.
Several times, just by checking the source warehouse on your shopping cart items, and making a few swaps on non-critical item selections, you can often get all your items shipped out of the same warehouse and save a bunch in shipping, as compared to multi-source warehouses.
Easier to do on smaller orders. A bit harder on larger orders.

Not sure why my original comment was deleted. Seems fishy like this is a promoted thread.
Also like others, I've shopped around to see if I can save. I've found myself putting a parts list together on RA and then searching for the same part numbers on Amazon. A majority of the time, Amazon has the same part for the same price, but with free shipping. Other times, the overall price in cart from Amazon is less than RA because of the shipping charges.
Sure, some will say you're gambling with real-deal vs. knock-offs on Amazon. So far, I've been getting by.
The problem with this is no one returns the $5 motor mount because it costs more to ship back. This results in the item still being promoted automatically with a Heart symbol. If you tell them the part literally cannot do what it is designed to do they will say it's broken and to take it up with the manufacturer guarantee. If the MFG requires you send it back and pay shipping it still exceeds the original cost so you just cut your losses.
Yes you should buy OEM, but when they stop making your parts it gets real tricky.
A couple of one off issues I have run into. If they literally send you the wrong part they will refund and pay for return shipping. If they send you the part you ordered, but it does not fit what they say it will, they will take a return then have you pay half the shipping costs. Example I ordered a shifter bulb and they sent the wrong part. They said it was not their fault because the vehicle manufacturer lists that as the part for the shifter bulb.
I have a growing collection of their magnets!
