O'Reillys wanted $4.00 for that $1.50 bulb. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Seems high to me. I've never had to pay that much. I've also never found a vendor with less than a $7 minimum shipping charge.

Bundle your purchases to fill that box and the ship cost per item goes down enough to make the right $ decision. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 |
53movinon, go to an Advance Auto, or O'Rielly's and go to the commercial dept. If they do not have them in stock have them order you some.....see below.
.
For me, I can buy a BOX of the bulbs at the commercial counter for what TWO of the same bulbs sale for at the help/electrical isle. The bulbs are what they sell to garage's and you do not have to be a garage or have an account to ask for them.
Just last week I went to get a bulb and at my Advance store and was told they now will sell just ONE of them out of a box......I still bought the entire box.
...... and for all of you that buy headlight bulbs this goes for them to. Commercial bulbs in "the plain white box" are a fraction of the $15 bulbs they sell out on the "floor'.
Get to know your commercial guys and gals. They do not "turn over" like the counter folks do. Sometimes I even take the guy a biscuit if its early morning!
(my commercial man is a woman and she has been doing parts for more than 20years, 10 of them at Advance. She just left about 4 months ago and went to NAPA. Guess where I buy my parts now!....and yes, I take her a biscuit too.)
