I keep finding better prices there than anywhere else. Haven't ordered parts online before. Anyone have any experiences with them?

I have ordered from them. They have always been cheaper than everyone else and I have never had a problem with their parts.

Same here. I've ordered from them quite a few times and am always satisfied. Watch the shipping fees, though, sometimes that drives the cost up so it isn't worth it.

I shop there FIRST.

Most times they are cheaper (even with delivery added) then most local parts stores.

And they accept PayPal to boot.

Their prices are good... their human customer service is possibly one of the worst out there. As long as you don't have problems you are fine.. if you do be prepared to be pissed off, waste a large amount of time and effort and putting out extra money while they waste your time.

I have ordered many parts from rockauto.com. Always the first place I check for OEM parts. They always ship my parts FAST after I order them, and I usually receive my parts very quickly. Never had an issue with any of my orders, so i can't speak on their customer service.

Yes thats correct, I just bought some stuff there not to long ago and they did the whole ship from 3 places, pretty much there just a broker kinda like amazon, but I will usually mess around with the shopping cart, like pick a differnt part from a differnt manufacture to see if I can get more items coming from the same place, usually have good prices just do your homework first.
