About two weeks for a check valve. I wasn't that thrilled about it.

Hi,

I just placed an order w/gmpd on 2/21/5.

Got the shipping confirmation on 2/28.

I expect to see it around Fri., 3/4 or Mon. 3/7.

I've placed many orders with them. I believe they are quite inconsistent as to delivery time. I always estimate 7 to 15 days. Of course if they don't have it readily available then it takes a lot longer, but it eventually comes.

The savings I receive from buying through them outweighs the wait time IMO although I understand you are trying to be predictive in order to receive delivery at a specific location during a specific time period.

..rickko..

If you're looking to order GM parts, give us a shot. We ship quickly and most times have it to you within a week tops. No need to worry about hassle for saving money. We're the least expensive dealer in the U.S.!

Sent the wrong parts "special order" they stated, so I can't return them. Bummer. Go somewhere else.

It usually takes about a week for me, but my rotors I just ordered from them come before they even took payment. (The rotors took two weeks to arrive).
