Since Rockauto hasn't posted a new 5% code in months I Googled Rockauto 5% and got a couple of codes good for this month from some coupon sites. But dumb me did it after placing a $100 order.
Also, I checked to see when that order would arrive and was shocked to find they sent it via DHL. The slowest form of snail shipping on earth. They have always used Fed Ex in the past and deliveries were very prompt. Not happy with that change.

ODS, Is this a 5% discount offered to members here on the forum or just anyone who googles and finds a code?
I know RA Sponsors this forum,(or used to) Just curious how it works.
Thanks

You can use any RA discount as long as it hasn't expired.

For years they had posted one on here every couple months, but the last time they updated that was one that expired in Oct. That's why I went looking for another source. I usually check the coupon sites before placing any online orders.
BTW Home Depot gives all vets 10% on almost everything. Gotta register, but once you do it's automatic.

They do have a yearly limit. I hit the linit after the move to AZ. Just have to pull up the app and the Military discount barcode pops up.

I am a bit confused. IIRC, the carrier has always been my choice. Did RockAuto override/change your selection?

Undoubtedly a nefarious conspiracy. :p
God I wish it was that simple , It's manufacturers with no forward thinking over the last 3 years. Letting stock run low and depending on another country to manufacture their products just for them to throw a made in the USA sticker on it. then they charge us 2 to 3 times more on low stock high demand items, screwing us as a consumer.

Ya , Being noticing that on stuff I needed. Looking like the supply chain thingy ain't close to fixed , yet.
I know searching part numbers trying to find somebody that has it in stock has been a pain in the you know what. Some of the parts I can only find on eBay and honestly that's like playing Russian roulette. Is it real or is it fake that is the question.
