:? Has anyone ordered Scion xB parts from Amazon.com?? I noticed that there are alot of items listed from floor mats to intake stuff, grills etc. I would like to know what your thoughts are on using Amazon as a source for parts.

 

Never for car parts before, but great service on electronics, movies, and houseware!

 

Does that mean you would never purchase car parts through Amazon?, or you just never have? :D

 

I've never ordered car parts from them before.

They're just a "middleman", though. The parts come from other vendors selling through Amazon, much the same way that Circuit City and Target sell their products through Amazon.

When you look at an item, check to see where it's shipping from (who the vendor is). That's the most important thing to pay attention to.

 

I have purchased through Amazon before, just not for the Scion yet. I would be willing to bet that the parts you order from Amazon are actualy coming from a Scion Dealer, or Wearhouse and Amazon is acting as the Retailer to reach a larger market.

(Stupid MBA acting up again on me. Keep saying I am an Engineer.)

I drop about $1000 a year with them, and have haven't had a major problem. The only problem I ever had was that I ordered something for Overnight ship on a Friday and didn't get it till Tuesday, They refunded the shipping.

 

They have a ton of floor mats at all different prices & styles and a couple of the window deflectors(for keeping rain out etc) so I'll research. The thing I like about Amazon in the free shipping for over $25 purchase. Thanks for the input.

 

AArhhh, I looked, they are selling all aftermarket stuff

I must admit, some of it does look cool.
