Avoid - Discount Auto Parts Warehouse on eBay

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

They go by discountautopartswarehouse

I should have believed the 187 negative reviews on their reviews section but I believed the other 97% positive feedback and was allured by the NLA Denso part.

I bought one unit, skeptically, but when it shipped with tracking I was reassured that they indeed did have it in stock. So I ordered another one. Both showed delivered but they weren't. Received bogus tracking numbers for both. When I opened a dispute with FleaBay, the vendor refunded the money.

It was odd that it showed "Last One" and after each purchase, it showed "out of stock" but then they miraculously showed "Last One" again.

My guess is they earn the interest on the $ for x # of days and hope the buyer doesn't call them out, if so, they refund the $ but then file an insurance claim with the shipper and get paid out.

They have a history of selling and not shipping or providing tracking. Looks like this is a newer work around. It looks like a lot of their positive reviews actually contain negative info., similar to my experience. Don't be fooled by those ratings as they are likely skewed.

I would avoid.

Interesting i'm seeing this now so I just had this happen also a few weeks ago.

Bought something, said shipped and the tracking ended up showing coming to the right city but said "delivered to parcel locker", which I don't have at my house. Seemed fishy so contacted usps they didn't have much info except the ship to address didn't match my address I gave to them.

Contacted ebay and they refunded me the next day

Was it the same seller?

 

[bhsdriller]

Yes the same seller

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

Just for full transparency, they don't have any AC compressors for a 2F. So those 7 viewers... buyer beware

 

[bhsdriller]

lol that's the same item I tried to buy. Knew it had been discontinued but thought could get lucky

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

Same. Guessing we aren't the only unlucky members on here.

Did this affect any one else?

These threads continue to boggle my mind. I guess everyone is looking for the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

This part hasn’t been available in years from Toyota or Denso form.

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

Yes, we know. Wouldn't be the first time someone found a NLA part.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Of course with the same result.

I did see a reman compressor come up and bought it the other day. @S.CarolinaFZJ80 is right, you have to take your shot.
