Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2004mail order parts
Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts? I ordered four oil filters and a bulb from Majestic Honda for a total of $20.82. Then they charged me $4.95 for handling and $8.22 for freight. I thought this was pretty outrageous! I called Hparts recently and they didn't answer the phone. Go to http://www.hondacuraworld.com/ Tim is very helpful. Tell him Ric (cardingtr) from www.Acuramdx.org referred you. They have a very reasonable prcing and almost free shipping. > Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts?

Majestic Honda, on the other hand, rarely answered back to my inquiries, wasn't the best price, and didn't leave me with the greatest impression.

I called the parts department at my local Honda dealer and they are willing to match any price I find on the internet.. Call or e-mail the parts manager at your dealer, they still make a good profit at internet prices. I pay the tax but save on the shipping.. I use the following internet sites for pricing information. Almost everything is negotiable these days.. http://www.handa-accessories.com/ http://www.cheaphondaparts.com/ http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ http://www.fairhondapartsforyou.com/ > Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts?

I've had excellent success with www.handaaccessories.com which is Carmichael Honda in Sacramento, Ca. > Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts?

I called Hparts recently and they > didn't answer the phone. Two years ago I ordered a timing belt and balance belt for my Honda from Majestic. It took me several months to get around to changing the belts myself. When I finally got everything apart I found they sent me the wrong size belts so I had to immediately go to the local Honda dealer and pay full price since my car was apart and I needed it the next day for work. I think that their shipping charge on top of freight is ridiculous and don't plan on buying from them again. > Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts?

I called Hparts recently and they > didn't answer the phone. Here's my overall good experience with Majestic: I ordered $101 of parts from it. Handling was $4.95, like others said. Shipping was $7.95. They do ship UPS 3-day. Even with the roughly extra 13% for S/H, the overall price was much less than I could get from the dealer. The parts arrived about when I expected. (Of course, shipping does not depend on mere dollar cost. It will vary depending on package size.) I might have been able to do better with another online parts company. But I think only a little better. Plus, having the drawings at the Majestic site has been invaluable to me over the last couple of years. So I'm happy paying maybe a little more than other online parts sites to ensure Majestic stays in business. I've emailed two different parts questions to Majestic in the last year. Its people got back to me by email within 24 hours with the correct answer. I made one other order but then a few days later I decided I didn't need the parts afterall. A holiday had intervened since I'd made the order, and the particular parts weren't in stock, anyway, so I called Majestic and asked if the parts had been shipped yet. They had not. I asked if I could cancel the order, and Majestic had absolutely no objection with my doing so. I think the key with Majestic is to only order large quantities at a time. Thanks to others for sharing their experiences. It will make me a little more cautious with Majestic, but I would not rule it out in the future. Ed, did you request any unusual shipping? I'm in the West. Majestic is in Rhode Island, I believe. But I do figure your package was a little larger in physical size to mine, thus the freight charge was a little larger. > Two years ago I ordered a timing belt and balance belt for my Honda from > Majestic.

Majestic is about two miles from where I used to live. The are in West Warwick and I lived in Coventry to the west. My experience with Majestic is satisfactory customer service but rather pricey for parts. It pays to shop around judiciously.

I have been ordering parts through Majestic Honda for the past 5-6 years, and always had good experience with them (yes, that 4.95 handling charge is a pain, but their online schematics for parts has been an absolute necessity for me too). Recently they have started shipping stuff via 2-day FEDEX and charging it to customer. (You can call them, and let them know that UPS ground is fine-which will save a bundle on shipping). The first time I got slapped with this 2-day FEDEX charge, I complained via e-mail, and they immediately offered to refund the difference betwwen the FEDEX charge and the cost I would have incurred had they shipped it via UPS ground. Also, one of the parts they sent was wrong (their mistake), and they immediately FEDEXED the correct part at cost to them. So, overall, I have had good service from them. Ed, perhaps you can e-mail them, you might get a quicker response.... > Here's my overall good experience with Majestic: > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > > thought this was pretty outrageous!

Since then, I buy from www.fairhondapartsforyou.com and the shipping charges are 3.95 for every order, no handling fee, and they have very good prices. I am very happy with their service. www.slhonda.com for Honda Parts http://www.acuraparts247.com for Acura parts > Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts?

My ONLY quip with San Leanardo, slow shipping due to UPS. UPS like to use trucks from Oakland CA to terminal in ILL. Last time I ordered the 3 day selecet shipping, they forget to send it and OVERNIGHTED it at no cost to me. > Charles Tague, Thank you! The slhonda site has very clear parts > diagrams!

I for one often want the full list of parts displayed along with the drawing. Majestic does this (though it takes a little longer). I have San Leandro's site bookmarked, but when I need a drawing for a repair, I find myself preferring the Majestic site by far. > My ONLY quip with San Leanardo, slow shipping due to UPS.

Good to know. :-) IIRC, slhonda's prices tend to be a bit lower than Majestic's. Click on top of parts list "view parts" and you get the same diagrams as Majestic. Click on a number in the picture aka "5" and it opens directly to it. > > Even nicer, you can click on the numbers in the schematics and it goes to > > that part. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > IIRC, slhonda's prices tend to be a bit lower than Majestic's. The drawings of the parts are identical, of course. But like I said (or tried to say), the part names do not appear in the same window. One has to exit the drawing window and wait while the next window loads to get to the part name and price. And then only one part name and price may be viewed. If you want to return to the drawing, you get to click and wait again. Often I have several parts whose shape I know but whose name I do not know. If I want to price several parts on the same drawing. This means going back and forth between several windows. PITA compared to Majestic. > Click on top of parts list "view parts" and you get the same diagrams as > Majestic.
