How fast is their shipping/processing? I'm wondering if I should purchase the rear center console from them, listed at $245 vs. GMaccessories at $350.... Although they are going to charge $58 for shipping, plus 5% for NC sales tax, so I'd only save like 20 bucks. Is it worth it or should I just go through the dealer???

I would love a response from people who've used gmpartsdirect.com so I can decide to order from there or not! TIA guys!

GMPartsDirect.com is good but they charge exorbitant prices for shipping. I just ordered the left and right Escalade Appliques and they charged me almost 40.00 shipping!

I've used gmpartsdirect.com a few times. They always send the correct part at a discounted price, but they do take a while to ship - and the shipping is a bit expensive.

All three times I've ordered from them, it was a few business days before they actually shipped the part. Not sure why, or what their process is, I just know it takes a while.

Ebay is also an option too for fairly common parts. I've bought door handels, mirror caps, etc..

Yeah, I kinda figured that out. I was going to purchase the rear center console only to see that they wanted $78 for shipping... bringing the total cost to only $12 cheaper than the dealer. I'd rather buy it in person and have them install it.

I've bought many parts from many online distributors but the worst I've used is gmpartsdistributor.com. They were easy to work with up until they sent me the wrong parts (part number on the invoice didn't match the part they sent) they wouldn't make it right. I have them saved in my favorites so I remember not to buy from them again. There are a ton of online distributors online so we can avoid the bad ones like gmpartsdistributor.com.

My 2 cents,

Chris

Did you find some captains in cloth?? Or are you doing a leather upgrade?

Have you tried asking the dealer for a discount? If they think you will continue buying parts form them, they will probably try to match the post shipping price, or even beat it. They have a pretty high markup to work with.

No cloth captains... I assume they don't even make them. I going to do the leather upgrade, but captains on ebay (titanium color) are going for $1300 (before shipping). That's a bit too steep for me right now.

Im considering upgrading my bench to leather and trying to find someone to trade... I think that is my best bet.

I've had good luck with gmpartsdirect.com. As long as you know exactly what part you need it's great and shipping is reasonable.

Hi all.

I just ordered about $800.00 worth of OEM parts from GMPartsDirect for the first time so I'll give you guys an update on how long it takes to get to me here in Richmond, VA.

Vehicle is a [fully loaded] 2011 Tahoe LTZ 4X4 I picked up about a week ago.

welcome! congrats on the purchase. just out of curiosity, if it's a fully loaded LTZ, what all did you order from GMPD that you don't have on it?

My question would be if you bought it brand new (hence it being a 2011) why not just order how you want it the first time?
