I recently ordered a starter on line from NAPA, none of the local mcparts stores had it in stock. NAPA had a good price and very fast free delivery. I took the old one to my local NAPA store and they could not process the core credit as the sale did not go through their store (franchise) I could…

I never buy anything online and have it shipped to me when a core is in question, and since the local store did not receive the funds from the sale, they should not be responsible for the refund of the credit as it goes against their P&L statement, even if under the same company… Would you be able …

I think OP is asking about process. Not whether others think it’s good/easy/difficult to buy stuff online. RA also mentions core charges on electrical stuff like alternators and starters. But I’ve never bought stuff like that from RA.

If the local Napa doesn’t have it, the warehouse is only 12 miles away. They send m3 to go pick it up. I have found the Napa site very hard to use and don’t use it. At any rate, for $100 or so, just wait it out. I waited seven weeks to get my car back from the transmission shop and 11 months to…

NAPA just refunded my core deposit. showing in my credit card statement. Just had to bring it to their attention

Glad it worked out for you, dealing with the pro/commercial side of things, Napa was always the best to deal with, O’Reilly’s was pretty decent other than they had the worst paperwork dealing with returns, AutoZone was the biggest but kissers, but had the highest defects and warranty claims, Car Qu…

I noticed that. The censor hasn’t caught on.

I ordered a part online and the local NAPA took such a nasty tone with me I will never return there. I ordered online to get a favorable price. The attitude I received at the store makes me think that the store looses money on online orders. It was a franchise store. From what I understand many tim…

Napa used to cover proto tool warranties stuff. Local Napa said they don’t anymore. I called proto service and they sent me new tool. Asked what model number and I got a new one. Didn’t want old tool back. It was $90 online so it wasn’t “cheap”.

We get so soon old and so late smart…

I clearly recall an older guy giving advice and said to the group of younger people-

No one can make you mad. That is a choice you make.
