Avoid autopartswarehouse.com, Partstrain, etc.

Beware. There are around 10 web sites operating under the autopartswarehouse.com umbrella, and they all sound evil.

I've heard on V.S. of people clicking through on autopartswarehouse and paying for parts with Visa and never receiving their goods- when they try to contact them, there is no answer or w/ email, they never answer- Yes, beware!

In all fairness, I should say I did order a radiator for a beater Mazda, came on time, no issues.

Had there been issues, well, it sounds like it might not have been pretty...

For Volvo parts, I'll stay with the forum sponsors, they look like straight-up dealers.

An absolutely evil, horrible company.

I can't stress it enough, no matter how cheap they may be on a part, it is not worth the risk. I've been screwed by them personally. Periodically, somebody makes a reference to them, and I start boiling. I'll spend the rest of my life going out of my way to make sure nobody does business with them.

They go by 100's of different names. here's a link to a list, but it's not all-inclusive, they just keep making more names up. http://www.raceshopper.com/bounty.shtml

consider yourself warned.

Because I still hate them, they're now up to about 200 different names and about 100 different phone numbers.

Through Matthew's site I got my all-weather mats at volvowholesaleparts.com for $27 cheaper than the stealership! Also, Matthew's site provided a promo code, so I used it for 10% off(included in that $27 off). THANKS a bunch!!!

I ordered a few bulbs from autopartswarehouse once. It only cost me a few dollars so I figured it was worth the risk. I got the bulbs about 2 weeks later but lucky they didnt break... I couldnt find them anywhere else. (Long switch lights behind toggle switches on dash). If you guys know anywhere else to get them please let me know!

I've used this company on several occasions for me and my Volvo friends, I have never had a problem with the Canadian arm of this operation. Not a huge fan of them, but two day free shipping plus not having to worry about import duty/tax has been worth it for me in the past. I don't like how they sometimes list parts as OEM when that is clearly not the case however.
