Something About RockAuto You May Not Already Know! (Page 7/9)

I can tell you the few cupholders I have sent to Canada the shipping with UPS was outrageous.
I always go with USPS and it`s usually much cheaper.
Some things I have ordered from vendors, when the shipping comes up it has defaulted to UPS for a very small part and it`s like 15.00
I call them and ask for it to be shipped in a USPS flat rate small box and it`s only 5.00

You want to see gas receipts or what?

Look, if it's any business of yours... the address in the States that I use is my friend's "weekend" retreat. He actually lives near Vancouver. He comes and goes to his place in Blaine Washington every couple of weeks. Is that okay with you?

but you seem to have problems with every parts house...
rock with shipping charges, advance doesn't take your paypal.. because of your bank..... asked paypal if your bank info is even givin to the vendor they'll be paying.. and it's not..
so advanced would only know you payed with paypal.. (thats straight from paypal)

inlighten me on why you are having that problem.. because I p.m.'ed a buddy on the monteSS board that I helped with parts# and he ordered from us and used paypal and is 50 minutes from canada's east coast northern boarder.. way up.
so unless you try'd to order from advanced using your c/c and not paypal.. (per paypal ) the vendor never knows what bank the money came from.. the vendor (in this case) advance gets payed from paypal not your c/c bank..

explain , cause it's not making sense..



Now it's beginning to get clearer why you almost got turfed off this forum (while posting in O/T) shortly after you joined PFF.

You're calling me a freakin' liar now, eh?

Look Furgal, after I went through the process to select what I wanted to buy from Advance Auto, I then clicked on "Checkout" to pay. At some point in the process after I logged in to PayPal, a message then came up stating that my PayPal account (and/ or my credit card registered with PayPal) was affiliated with a non-US bank and therefore I was SOL.

I don't take very kindly to my integrity being challenged. So kindly bugger off now please. Thanks.

I have no complaint about their shippig costs to Canada. For using a courier (vs USPS), their shipping prices are bang on. And since they make you pay the canadian taxes, you don't get screwed over by UPS/FEDEX with an additional $20+ in fees for having them do it.

I've been ebay and buying stuff online for years and can say for courier service, it doesn't get any cheaper. Granted, it means $30+ no matter how little the pacage weighs, but that's to be expected. Just don't try buying brake rotors or other unecessarily heavy things you can end up getting locally for less, and make sure you're getting all the items from the same shipping location and you won't end up paying $100 in shipping.

I just got a radiator and a cv shaft for about $50 in shipping, about $200 total cost to my door. I couldn't even get the radiator for that price locally, and I get a large discount at the local parts store. Saved myself at least $150.

I'm not sure who you mean by "courier"? Are you referring to a private carrier such as FedEx or UPS?

What I really like about USPS being used (when having something shipped across the border), is that their brokerage fees are minimal compared to UPS and FedEx... AND... below a certain declared value ($20?), taxes aren't even collected.

not challenging your "integrity"
but paypal doesn't give out you banks info..(one reason paypal gets used ,so you don't give out your c/c info to verybody and anybody)
but somehow you are say'n paypal told advance your bank info....
look I'm not the one with the shipping issue... I offered to help if needed.. and in doing so.. found paypal doesn't give out the info you are claiming is the reason advance wouldn't take your money..

I asked what the fuel cost round trip to your buddies... because you have to add that to the parts shipping cost.. no matter if you where going there anyways or not.. and then those parts cross as yours not a vendersale..
I understand why you do it.. same reason people in the states order online instead of local. they get to skip some fee's in the people in the states case it's state sales tax..
I'm got questioning your interity.... could not be bothered... funny you are questioning mine..
again .. couldn't care less.. but because I was having a "huu" moment. about the "advanced won't shipped to me because of my bank" and that seemed like a problem and a would cause a big loss in sales.. I looked into it..(at work at advanced,and called our corp offices, )
only one credit card bank they don't like and it happens to be an american based bank.. but they still take it.. and paypal doesn't give out your c/c info...
please please , show where paypals giving out your c/c info.. cause I think you'd have a nice suit as thats one of the selling points of you use'n paypal..

keep digging.. your not quite to china yet

You appear to be contradicting yourself, not that it would bother you.

I told you exactly what happened. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes in regards to Advance Auto or PayPal or my credit card company/bank when it comes time to pay for an order, but I'm telling you (whether you care to believe me or not), Advance Auto would not allow me to make my purchase.

Would you like the emails between Advance Auto's Ecommerce Webcare Team and myself (where I was complaining about this) forwarded to you for your perusal?

All you anyone really needs to know is the following...

Furgal, you may think you know how it's all "supposed" to work, but you are misinformed.

paypal DOES NOT GIVE OUT YOUR C/C INFO NOR YOUR BANK INFO.. so advance has no way of knowing what bank was connected to your paypal account..
I'm done.. my boots are not high enough..
and it's getting mighy deep..
