I recently placed a order with GMPD. Reading this board, everyone had there own opinion about them. I saw bad and good experiences.

 

So I thought I would add mine.

 

I ordered $800.00 worth of merchandise from them, they stated that everything I ordered would have to be special ordered and could take a few more than the stated 7-10 days average delivery time.

 

So I said the heck with it and ordered it because I couldnt find better prices, even with the shipping.

 

I ended up getting all my merchandise in under 10 days in perfect condition.

 

So I give them a solid "9" in my book.

 

The only reason I don't give them a "10" is that I think they should have some sort of phone support which they do not. The only way to reach them is email, and it did take them 3 days to get back to me when I emailed a question regarding some parts I was interested in.

Can't get them to answer any email questions. I went to another company because of it to buy a lot of accessories.

Like I stated earlier, it did take them 3 days to get back to me on the email i sent. So I guess that was definitly a negative. I am big on customer service and 72 ours to answer a simple shipping question is way to long IMO.

 

But again, they did answer.

At least you did get an answer.

 

Call me crazy but I would think that if you were a company selling parts over the net and only had email support... you might want to answer the emails you get! Seems like a pretty simple solution to me. I actually had an order in the shopping cart, waiting for a clarification on an item. I never heard back from them so I sent the question again. Still no answer.

 

Their site is nicely done. Pretty easy to navigate. Prices are not bad. Sounds like you got your parts as promised. A little more email support and they would probably pick up a lot more sales.

 

Hopefully they have somebody scouting this forum to see the feedback. If so maybe they can teach that guy to answer their emails! :thumbs:

yea i like them a lot. quality parts cheaper than most places. i do agree customer service is hit or miss. i email them a few times before and emails are usually repsonded to in about 2-3 biz days. if you dont supply a VIN, they pretty much wont get back to you. almost like its too much work. altho once they did email me back and ask for the VIN.

I was a Gmpartsdirect.com shopper untill I got turned on to Gmpartshouse.com. I ask a question and the same day I get an answer via email or if I call I talk to the same guy Gene who runs the company. Quicker shipping and a little better on the prices than Gmpartsdirect.com. Just my $.02

That is nuts, customer service is very important to our clients! Hell we have a live voice on Sat and Sun.

I agree with the Duck! ANYBODY can sell you a part. It's the service that separates the good from the bad.

I'm not really impressed with the customer support. Usually takes 3-5 days to get email response. They cancelled my special order for parts on 2-25 and I've never received a credit or refund for my paypal. I've sent 2 emails to customer support asking when I should expect my refund and I can't get an answer. I'll not shop there anymore. I hate to be ignored.

I've emaild gmpartsdirect 3 times now inquiring about a part and still no response. All I get is the automated response immediately after I send the email, "blah blah, we have your email and will get back to as soon as possible, blah". And NO phone number whatsoever to contact them??? WTF? I think these reasons are enough to convince me not to deal with them. Customer service should be your number one priority, to them it obviously isnt. I'm not gonna deal with them, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else buy from them either, its a big gamble.

I just recieved my order from them. just the chrome mirror caps. I ordered on a sunday and my order shipped on the 10th business day, which the site says it may take 7-10 days to ship. I had a good experience and would purchase from them again. I did not however make any attempt to contact them so I cannot comment on customer service.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
