Not much room for a markup if they work with a third party AND offer free shipping. On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 2:01 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > G Mann Sez: > > > I suspect Autohauz works out of inventories owned by other folks and > "drop > > ships" some of what th

I'm sure that's the case. That's what Worldpac does. A lot of the online parts retailers are using a customized "front end" that utilizes Worldpac's system. When you order it just goes to Worldpac and they drop ship from one of their warehouses with the seller's information on the pack slip and

Notwithstanding the lag time in delivery, Autohausaz.com is the cheapest parts source I have come across. Makes no difference where i order from. It takes a week to get anything unless i can buy from FLAPS. once in a while it is less, but I figure that is a bonus. If I try to anticipate e

Autohaus uses the stupid UPS/USPS arrangement for their cheap shipping. This is the equivalent of a slow boat to China. On a few occasions I've upgraded to UPS and things get to me promptly, albeit they still never ship the same day I order them. If you hit the threshold for free shipping I bel

Clarification: OEM part. I will give Autohaus credit for sourcing lots of little bits that are stupid expensive at the dealer, even with a discount. A good example of this is the O rings for the oiler tubes on the M119 engine. From MB they're like $2/each. Something like $0.35/each from Autohau

I have ordered from Autohaus on occasion when I’m not in a hurry and I need an OE part that’s far cheaper in the aftermarket, like a thermostat. The thing I find amusing is that they state quite clearly that they ship the “same day - or the next” and nothing I have ordered has ever shipped the

And that history has repeated with the current administration. Except this time we surrendered after we won. We left the vacuum that spawned ISIS. We set up the Middle East for a nuclear arms race. At the same time we created a domestic welfare state with almost half the people living off t
