So I just tried ordering sparkplugs from Rockauto. Put in all my info as usual, enter the discount code, go to paypal and blam! I get a red message saying Rockauto cannot currently ship to my address because my municipality requires sales tax to be collected along with state tax and they don't have the ability to collect thousands of different BLAH BLAH BLAH.......... Tried my job address and no dice either, anybody else run into this? I went to Amazon and had no such issue although my order ran another 8 bucks. This tax sh*t on the internet is getting out of hand.

Well you see the government needs your money more than you do so really you should be grateful. I mean come on its only some tiny things like they get you for income TAX then state TAX and county TAX and federal TAX and then with the pocket change you have left you just have to pay a little state TAX and sales TAX when you buy the stuff so no big deal right..... I mean it all comes back around, they use it to build roads and bridges, and non of those have tolls at all. Plus really all those antiques on capital hill really can barely get buy with their 250,000 a year salary, thats just poverty level.

Hopefully rock auto will get that figured out, i ordered from there a couple days ago and didnt have any issues, hopefully this problem doesn't spread to other areas because i am not going back to listening to an idiot behind the counter of a chain store again

Is it really that economical to buy spark plugs at Rockauto………………………...considering what you may have to go through when they send the wrong ones? Surely it isn't that much cheaper.

I'm surely in the hundreds of rockauto orders over the last few years. Never once have they sent me the wrong parts. They send what you buy is my experience.

I don't buy from them the one time i did part didnt fit and had to pay for it to get shipped back and a restock fee cause there junk part didnt fit out of the box. So i go to a family owned car quest and i got a house account and they will deliver to my house best part is they know what there doing you can ask them for a BBC oil filter and you won't hear them say what year car is that for.
