GMParts Direct is No Longer a Supporting Vendor

Due to a high number of bad member experiences with GMParts Direct, we have determined that it is not in the best of interest of the site or our members to continue a Supporting Vendor relationship with them.

As of now, GMParts Direct is no longer a supporting vendor of Z06Vette.com, and it is our hope that your parts dollars will be spent with our other supporting vendors instead.

Mark

Wow! and to think I woke up this morning wondering how much something was going to cost at GMPARTSDIRECT.com......Good to know sooner. Thanks! Sorry they couldn't do better. I am sure they will see a reduction in sales immediately.

Their prices were decent, but the deals were no good after you figured in shipping. Based on the obscene shipping charges I never did business with them as it made them look like weasels - IMHO of course.

With Gene and Jerermy at Fred Beans...and their excellent pricing and service...

I never saw the reason to order from GM direct anyway..

Good move Z06 vette.com!

Now this is an excellent example of a group voting with their wallet. If this results in GM Parts Direct improving their business practices, then so much the better. If not, then the people have spoken.
