Ordering was very quick. Its still a little strange not knowing the company or the people you're buying from, but the pricing you offered was very reasonable and the option for 2nd day air shipping was very satisfying. I had actually placed an order with Walmart after speaking with both autozone and advanced auto parts. Although my order was already being processed by Walmart, I canceled it in order to try your service as you could get the product to me faster than walmart could; so I'm praying that all goes well with your company. Thanks. C

The 20 percent discount on shipping did not apply during the check out process and it was too late to go back and correct it.

The amazon option makes check out a breeze

Autoplicity had the best price on the part I wanted. It was shipped fast directly from the manufacturer. When I opened the box, there were some cosmetic blemishes, so I called Autoplicity at 6pm EST. Rob immediately answered the phone, looked at the pictures I sent him through e-mail, then forwarded the pictures to a representative at the manufacturer. Rob then called me back and gave me the name, phone number and extension of the person I needed to speak to. After giving my information to that person, a pre-paid return label was e-mailed to me from the manufacturer, and that same week, I had the replacement part in my possession. Great customer service!
