Default Corvette Central Discount

Anyone recall Corvette Central offering a discount higher than 10%???? Maybe in the 15% range?

Corvette Central is running a "Green Monday Free Shipping" today ground within the U.S.A., no minimum purchase required. Enter code is FREEGREEN20 at checkout. That is a pretty good deal. Not a percentage like you asked but still a good deal in my opinion.

Yes, I have seen them do as high as 15% on orders of a certain amount plus free shipping before a major holiday. Always check eBay.

Yes, their “start to finish” discount (you had to buy $500+ in your first order) used to be 15%. Now it is determined by how much you spend in an order, and never goes above 12%. I asked them about it when I placed an order recently.

Just to note...I'm a C-C customer for decades.

It's not the discount...it's the PRICE and shipping.

A certain vendor; Vendor 'E' purports to have these 30% off sales....then you check their price against C-A and C-C and others and you quickly realize that their price is 'jacked-up' 30% NORMALLY and this so-called discount just drops you back to 10-20% more than the other guys.

Caveat Emptor.

agreed!
Plus my understanding is ALL (99.9% jic) aftermarket corvette parts are made in CHINA and imported wholesale to be distributed retail by all vendors. So it really isn't about quality, its about price... I miss the good ole days..

I agree....I have ordered from several different vendors over the past few years but like Corvette Centrals simplicity when it comes to shipping and taxes....it’s all included in your invoice....no surprises with brokerage fees. They also ship quick. I am north of the border and cannot have it shipped to a US mailbox and pick it up since the border is closed. I have to take advantage of any savings,especially with exchange rates.

thanks for everyone’s input
