    Anyone else finding that Amazon is becoming a pricey iffy quality place? My order is not going out for 2 more days, but too late to canel. Peime 2 day means it might be here in 2 days. I have to double check delivery dates as they change grom the product page to my order page.

    Well maybe not the rockets... but yeah it'd be nice if he shipped his wares on time.

    Yeah, I've seen a marked decline in Amazon quality lately, including missed deadlines, much longer shipping times than "prime" should allow for, etc.

    Not to mention how they obfuscate and make making a smart buying decision almost impossible.

    camelcamelcamel.com is your friend when trying to figure out amazon pricing, and what if any games they are playing today.

    But, yes, in short they are an absolute mess and not to be trusted for an inch.

    My biggest issue of late is their crappy delivery by AMZL locals.

    I do shop around and don't just go to AMZ by default. After buying a new OEM (plastic) chrome grille on ebay from dealer stock, I'm considering new OEM headlight housings for my truck and Rock Auto ends up being the best deal. I find most OEM vehicle parts are way overpriced on AMZ over ebay or the OEM sites anyway.

    I always review camelcamelcamel before buying something that's more than a few bucks and I could probably wait for. Easy to plan ahead for seasonal items.

    I think most car parts now are third party vendors that pay for a AMZN service. They just list the parts and basically when you order they get paid and place an order with rock or a distributor. Would be ok if it saved $ but its just another crappy middle man.

    I had a great time too, thank you Chick!

    It's so fun to be around someone so passionate for the sport, and I really learned a lot from the knowledge you have worked to accumulate in a relatively short time.

    Thank you for helping me zero my new 6mm Creedmoor/Burris XTRII rig, and teaching me principles, like consistency, for accuracy.

    And then with the A/R, speed, and being able to go offhand, or use offset sites. These are things I didn't even know existed.

    We need to let hbarleatherneck know that people sighted his holster, and asked about it, and we pointed them here.

    Can't wait to do it again,

    Last time I ordered from rockoauto back in Late January they would not deliver to Colorado home ruled cities due to tax burden. I had to go to Monument to pick it up. Hopefully that changed as I won't do it again.
