Best option for OEM parts? (2 Viewers)

suspect that "pick up policy" might be due to risk. You order/pick up part at dealer. part is damaged/bad, who do you return it to?

Kinda like the pc conundrum back in the day (yesterday?)....it's the software/no it's the hardware/no it's the software......

Maybe. We jointly inspected the parts, especially the windshield, and then I signed off on everything. I'm thinking it's more that they want to keep the online prices as far away from the counter customers as possible.

Much of the online business is drop shipped, so if you pick it up they have to seal with it (and you).

When I lived in Baldwin County, Springhill Toyota (as mentioned by others) had great prices online but wouldn't honor those if you walked into the dealership. I did get them to agree to let me pick up a windshield and some other large parts once but for the most part they want to ship those directly to you.

Springhill Toyota/Lexus of Mobile are both online stores but in the payment stage you can click a box for store pick-up. I always review the items in my shopping cart with them by phone before I pay since if you make a mistake, the return freight wipes out any savings.
I always use their diagrams on the Lexus site, then use the LX part numbers on the Toyota site to purchase since it's a little cheaper (except when the occasional sales promos are on the Lexus side).
