If its a special order part it takes time and at least you didn't pay for it yet. If you can't wait. than pay top dollars and get it locally. Bought from them a number of times with No problems.

Yep....special order items take a little while to get. They won't take the money out of your account until it is ready to be shipped to you. If you want to verify this, kust e-mail them...they will let you know what is going on. I have ordered there a number of times and not had any problems, although one item took a bit to get, cuz it was special order.

I've ordered several things (at least one special order), and nothing was charged to my card until the part was shipped. Standard for them.

Great prices, but they get you on the shipping charge.

Parrydise is correct about shipping. I bought some smog stuff (don't ask), and the shipping was nearly $40--BUT the part was still significantly lower than my dealership. My advice is to compare prices.

Why complain about gmpartsdirect, no one told you to buy there.
Even with the shipping charges and sometimes the wait they still beat other on-line stores, the Dealers and local parts places( if they have anything you want) on price & its a GM part..

What are you talking about man? I have never bought anything off of there before, and wanted to get some feedback on them to see if this is normal or what to expect. Thats what this board is for right?

Bought quite a bit a few weeks ago. No charges until ALL parts were ready to ship. Shipping took a week to the west coast. Only one problem noted... Ordered four of one part and received one. An email was sent with a reply received the next day. The other three parts were delivered four days later. Overall, including handling charges , I would rate them OUTSTANDING. Some of the parts I ordered were half price of GM list and were not available anywhere else (rear window molding that attaches the window to the hinges and they are EXPENSIVE).
