Has anyone purchased auto parts off walmart.com?

[Sunshine Girl]

Just curious if anyone here has purchased OEM parts off walmart.com?

I recently read that Walmart partnered with Advanced Auto Parts so I took a look on the Walmart website - I was looking for upper/lower ball joints, Control arms,, tie rods, wheel hubs etc. There were a lot of name brand parts with much lower prices than other auto parts stores....ACDelco, Moog.

Are they offering Genuine GM parts or just AC Delco/professional/gold parts?

Yea, I did some browsing there yesterday and as I see it, you need to have the part number already because I don't see where I can look up parts by application.

The prices are higher than RA but in lots of cases less than Amazon. I found a great source, others here have too, called GM Parts Warehouse: https://www.gmpartswarehouse.com/

I also saw where it would say, FREE DELIVERY. I did not delve in to that but I am assuming they are talking about free local delivery but not free shipping. Have to pay shipping just like RA. I did see where they also do have Genuine GM parts if you have the part number.

Did I miss anything?

be careful buying from either, walmart is notorious for canceling orders if the item is not in stock even if it did show in stock originally, they often have delays as well, so just a heads up. gmpartswharehouse is also notorious for slow shipping or canceling orders, hard to get refunds, customer support is pretty much non-existent. read the reviews, they carry a 1 out of 5 star rating with BBB

I got lucky then. I ordered a hose from GM Parts Warehouse, when RA and Fed Ex delivered my hose to the wrong address, and then the day after I ordered it the RA hose showed up. I emailed and called GM Parts Warehouse and they had at the same time sent an email that the hose was shipped and then 2 minutes later they sent me another email saying they cancelled the order and credited back the purchase. I got lucky I guess.

not saying it happens everytime to everyone but they seem to have a pretty poor track record in some cases, just be wary if it's something of critical need

I agree. If they average 1 star, something ain't right, a whole bunch of times. Glad I did get lucky.

Walmart just shorted me on transmission fluid and put gear oil in the box. They’re supposed gonna make right on it and send the rest

You are not buying from Walmart. You are buying from third party resellers on Walmart’s website. Almost like buying from Amazon.

Affiliated. I’m sure they get some kind of kick back.

I am not sure what I did but this is not my comment, lol dont know how i posted this lol anqd cant seem to delete it I recently read that Walmart partnered with Advanced Auto Parts so I took a look on the Walmart website - I was looking for upper/lower ball joints, Control arms,, tie rods, wheel hubs etc. There were a lot of name brand parts with much lower prices than other auto parts stores....ACDelco, Moog.

like some said, buying on walmart.com now is like buying from Amazon or eBay. Walmart.com allows third-party sellers to use their platform to sell products, believe me, Walmart is getting some of the money lol.. Now I won't lie, I use Walmart auto service for oil changes and tires, and never have I had a problem.

What year Tahoe did you eventually buy?

What year Tahoe did you eventually buy?

I eventually bought a white 2004 Tahoe LT flex. I have never driven anything so smooth and comfortable. It's a tank!
The car doesn't like wind on the highway though...maybe it's the ball joints. I just replaced the radiator, parking break, thermostat and coolant sensor myself. Now I'm gonna replace the hydro boost.

Also could be your shocks. Do you have the ZW7 suspension?

You can look at the pro list in the glove box. It's the big whit sticker with a bunch of codes. It would say ZW7.
Here's an example.
This one is from my 03. It came with the ZW7 suspension.
