I wish Rock Auto would do 10%, instead of just 5%. Something is better than nothing but they almost never run 10% off.
I really like their online parts search. Once you learn it, it's great. The shipping is what gets you but I always try to get all items shipping from the same location. Otherwise, it can get pricey if parts are all coming from different depots.
As far back as I can remember, Rockauto has always had a 5% off code easily available. I always check RetailMeNot for discount or free shipping codes before making any online order.

I've found even with shipping that they are usually hard to beat but at a minimum they make it easy to find part numbers to cross shop and check prices which is really nice. It's a little game in itself to see how many things you can get from the same warehouse when possible.
You may have not read any of the replies to your thread that state there is endless availability of Rockauto 5% off codes. May not need to post every time you come across one.
It IS a game. I think they intentially try to ship from different warehouses as they profit from shipping charges.
I have had a bunch of stuff in my cart and as I removed items, the warehouse supplying the exact same part sometimes changes
Apparently, Rockauto doesn't own or operate any of the warehouses. They're just a front for drop shipping parts from third parties who fulfill orders. Given the shipping rates I've experienced (which are pretty low) I doubt either Rockauto or the members who fulfill the orders make much profit, if any, on the shipping.
