    Never ordered from them. Have you tried to find the parts on amazon? Advance Auto always has 20% or so coupons on their site.

    Was still cheaper and "better" quality than amazon.
    Hope this is temporary. The Audi clutch I ordered was $300 cheaper at rock.

    Yes, won't ship to me anymore either. A real bummer. I guess I should unsubscribe from their email.

    I think I ordered from Napa or something; but ultimately, no.

    Would it be cost effective to have them drop shop to me, then me send to you? Curious since you mentioned it was $300 cheaper on RA.

    Took my first ride on the light rail this past Saturday. Definitely beats driving downtown and dealing with parking.

    On big ticket items, probably.

    I am running into this with local suppliers even.
    The home-rule cities require a tax license from any vendor selling into their cities. One of the vendors told me there are 84 home-rule cities in Colorado.
    It just isn't worth the time or money to maintain and report to 84 cities in addition to the state-collected subdivisions.
    One alternative is to have UPS pick it up at their will-call.
    UPS is designated under the state law as your company rep and when they pick up they are taking delivery and you pay the tax at the pick-up location.
    Sound bizarre and complicated?
    Thank your legislators.
