Has anyone noticed that many parts you can but at C C , are cheaper on Amazon and are shipped to you directly from C C ?

Seems like Corvette Central gets a good bit of bad press here on Corvette Forum. Has anyone used Paragon, they have a great catalog but I know that means nothing if it's not backed up with good service.

same thing with Ebay. It's great if you just need one part. for large orders, buying from the site with a coupon code is cheaper though

I brought some T-Top storage covers from Corvette Central through Amazon a few months ago. They only offered the black ones on Amazon, but after I ordered them , I was able to call Corvette Central before they shipped and get the gray ones to match my interior for the same cost. Great deal!

Ive used Paragon for most of my replacement parts and hardware. Have nothing bad to say about them. Catalog is definitely helpful.

Living in Canada, Corvette Central has always been great...they are by far the most efficient and cost effective of the major suppliers in shipping across the border from my experience. I use them first always, and only look elsewhere when necessary.

Just a fraction of the items we sell are listed on Amazon. Most parts are in line with shipping charges that you will receive from buying from us directly, as we monitor that closely. Plus, we periodically offer free shipping specials for our online websites that are never offered on Amazon.

I buy everything I can from Paragon. They are especially good if you are doing a complete restoration. They will give you 15% off of catalog price which is already lower than a lot of them.

During my project, I buy from any aftermarket retailer. My catalog collection is massive! Paragon and Corvette Central have been two of them; never had any problems. I shop for quality parts first (made in North America), availability second (when I need it - I need it) and price last (don't cheap out on a Vette). When shopping from a dozen suppliers, I can find what I need.
