I didn't think the prices would be that good as their online prices and quote over the phone prices are much different, but after buying a coolant expansion tank for my 996 on pelican I forgot to check Sonnen Porsche And they were much less.

Warehouse 33 has the best prices I've found on consumables - filters, etc - that I've run across, so I'll be shopping there from now on.

I agree that the website is a little balky if you are ordering multiple parts, but a couple of extra clicks is a small penalty for the significant savings when using the "RENNLIST" promo code.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Now it is May 4, and the last few items have still not been delivered.
I just purchased a 996 and need some parts. I go online to sites like PelicanParts and they make you order and pay without even specifying if part is in stock or has additional overseas charges. So pay and pray.
I go to local dealers if part is not discounted online. But for interior parts, seems like online venders offer better discounts.
From your experiences, what online venders are honest about parts availability, offer returns, maybe free shipping?
Well, my experiences sound very different from your premise.
Warehouse 33(extra discount for entering "Rennlist" code)
Suncoast Porsche Parts
Auto Atlanta
and, yes, even Pelican Parts. In fact I ordered non-returnable carpet mats for my 2005 996 based on advice from a Pelican customer service rep. Well I got 997 mats and they took them back.
Some vendors offer OEM and other manufacturer parts, so you can decide which you want. I have not had any problems with any of the vendors I have ordered from and I have never priced at a Porsche dealer!
The 3 S's -

- Florida
All 3 are great to deal with, havediscounted prices, no sales tax but no free shipping. Sometimes your local dealer will match or come close to the online prices - you have to ask and don't forget the 10% PCA discount.
Pelican Parts is one of my last stops, only if I can't find it somewhere else.
Warehouse 33 - Good prices terrible site... huge waste of time - rarely wind up ordering anything, as they NEVER have all the parts I need, and the site makes you re-enter all the car data between every part. Truly madening. Justin says it's "being fixed/updated" since Forever...
Auto Atlanta - good site, great parts drawings (my goto to find parts), usually decent prices - except for shipping. I still wind up buying a lot of stuff from them.
Suncoast - good site easy to shop, goodprices. Not great shipping prices. I usually only buy from them if I can't find something somewhere else, or if the price is crazy good (they have great sales).
ECS Tuning - Usually pretty good prices, fairly convenient site, parts limited - easy to shop, usually free shipping over $49 (I think maybe sometimes it's $75... not sure, but I think it changes).
Rock Auto - Always worth a look - usually several price points on similar parts. If you know what you're looking for, it can be a really good site
RND Europarts - per SG, dodgy site
Tarret Racing - Great for upgraded suspension parts (drop links, sways, toe links, control arms, top mounts etc...)
Good luck
Sunsetporscheparts.com for genuine parts
Great price and service.
It lets you enter the VIN when submitting the order and they WILL verify the parts for fitment. If you order something that's not for your car, they will call you and let you know.
I've got about 50 online vendors on my favorites folder in my browser. Have not had any problems with any of them. For me, it's all about the total price: parts plus taxes (if any) plus shipping. Having said that, I usually end up buying from SunCoast Porsche, SunSet Prosche, or Pelican. Don't forget the local Porsche dealer. Sometimes the total cost of buying it local beats the online total cost. Sometimes
Warehouse33auto.com is my first choice. I agree that the website is a little balky if you are ordering multiple parts, but a couple of extra clicks is a small penalty for the significant savings when using the "RENNLIST" promo code.
Jason's shipping prices are consistently cheaper to boot.
And if I can't find something on the website, I just call in and Jason will get it for me. He even set up an account with an aftermarket body parts vendor just to get me a discount on a front bumper cover for my S430.
I have ordered several times over the years from ECS Tuning, Pelican, Sunset and have been very pleased also. I generally cross-shop a couple of vendors before I order something, but I always include Warehouse33auto.com when shopping.
For new parts I buy everything I can from Pelican Parts. They aren't always the cheapest but any time I've had a problem they always make it right, no questions asked.
For used parts I buy from DC Automotive. Same deal, great customer service.
To me great customer service is worth a couple bucks more.
Give Roger a try at 928sRUS. He's on vac right now, but I'm betting if you order something from him, you'll like the prices and the service. He carries a large line of parts for 966.
928sRUS.com ask for Roger(5/9 return).
I agree that Jason is a good guy and great to deal with, but the site is TERRIBLE - there's really no excuse for that in this day and age...I hope he gets it together
In addition to Pelican Parts and ECS Tuning, I've gotten parts from both warehouse33auto.com and rennpart.com. All are forum sponsors. I got good service from all; warehouse 33 and rennpart had particularly good pricing.
I'm there with you on the site is terrible, my new website is done but my web guys are still fixing problems with the shipping calculator. It's supposed to launch early this month(fingers crossed).

I've used about half of what is listed above- Pelican seems more expensive than the others- most often I have a part number and will search ECS/ Pelican/ W33 and google shopping to see who has the best out the door pricing. I'm currently looking for rear shock mounts and all the hardware/ spacer/ spring holder etc and it is amazing the price difference.
So- shop around- no need to use the same place overtime when online shopping.
Warehouse33auto.com is my #1 choice. Great pricing (especially with rennlist extra10%) best service from ANY parts source. Jason is super easy and responsive to deal with. He will also (if he can) source parts he does not have on the website. I got my Tarret camber plates from him at a better price than anywhere else and he had to open an account with them. Ordered them and got them the next day.
Often parts are drop shipped from a regional warehouse, so shipping is fast
If I need Porsche branded parts, my go to is gaudinporscheparts.com in Las Vegas. Everything is discounted 10-35% for Genuine Porsche parts. No sales tax to CA.
I have been using www.sonnenporscheoemparts.com. They are my local dealer and I can order genuine OEM parts and pick em up. For almost everything I've bought, they've had the best prices. I discovered them when I added factory seat heating to my 2002 C4 Cab and the online DIY about it, from a guy in australia mentioned them and how amazing they were in getting him parts to the land down under. I didn't think the prices would be that good as their online prices and quote over the phone prices are much different, but after buying a coolant expansion tank for my 996 on pelican I forgot to check Sonnen Porsche And they were much less. I order all my parts from them now and they're genuine Porsche.
Exactly, I placed order at Pelican on April 5, about 10 items. A few came in various deliveries within a couple of weeks. Now it is May 4, and the last few items have still not been delivered. I get lots of "nice" phone calls and bunches of emails with updates that don't help. Apparently they sell things on their web site that they don't have and don't know if their suppliers have the items.
Everything FCP sells has a lifetime warranty from them.
From their website
"All products you buy from FCP Euro are guaranteed for life for your ownership of the vehicle. This lifetime replacement guarantee includes consumables and wear and tear items like brake pads, gaskets, rotors, filters, wiper blades, and even oil – YES, oil!
This covers every single part we sell for as long as you own your car. Return anything purchased from us at any time. No fine print, no restrictions, no time limit. Buy it once, use it, abuse it, wear it out, then send it back for a free replacement. Even the free replacement part is warrantied for life."
I would love to know how they determine that oil or brake fluid is worn out
Two thumbs up for Sonnen (
www.sonnenporscheoemparts.com
). They are local for me as well. I usually order whatever I need on their website and then pick it up in person. Amazing prices.
i have good experience with:
www.design911.co.uk
(some parts really cheap also with shipping from UK and they have discount codes:PCGB005)
www.germanautoparts.com
(good customer service!!!)
www.partsgeek.com
i always check all sites for the best price, it takes some time but you can save a lot of $$$
Daaaannnngggg!! I thought I would try a different vendor than my usual online parts goto (pelican). Your website is SO bad I'm not even going to spend the time. Seriously; I don't say this to be an ***, but to say that convenience of online shopping is a major factor for me so if another vendor has a much better site I'll just shop there instead. Couple of dollars and a day or two of shipping doesn't make that much difference to me.
Fix your website to be competitive and I bet your business would grow significantly!
weird; I tried warehouse33.net again this morning from work computer and it navigates ok. Maybe it was the iMac browser on my home computer? Sorry; carry on.....
Had no issues with Suncoast or Pelican so far, although I agree Suncoasts shipping prices seem a tad inflated, but glad this thread got resurrected as that's more options for when I need stuff (and I do!)
depends on the car I am shopping parts for.
since this is the 996 forum, Pelican is my go to place for that car (and the BMWs). Great service, very good prices and reliable shipping. They have even sourced parts for me that do not show up on their web site, and their price was cheaper than the dealer price.
This looks like an older post, but I�d add Rennpart to the list. When I needed hardware for my 996 project he helped me out and I�ve gotten several dealer only items from him since. Great small business to work with, he treats Rennlisters right on pricing, amazing communication and the owner is a nice guy too.
Good to hear it's working now, the current website is new version that was just launched in October 2017. If you have any questions just let me know.
Remember I offer a 10% off discount for Rennlister's, enter RENNLIST in the coupon code section at checkout.

First place I visit for all of my European car parts is FCPEuro.com. They have been awesome over the past 6-7 years. They even offer lifetime warranty on ALL of the parts they sell! Yes, even brake pads, brake rotors, and anything else you can think of!
Their prices are a little higher then Warehouse 33, and then even cheaper with the 10% I offer. Give us a try sometime.
I heard they even offer lifetime oil, crazy.
-Jason
I just had ANOTHER outstanding positive experience with Pelican Parts. I have been getting parts for a good decade form my P cars and BMWs. zero defects, great service, very fair prices.
They are on the other side of the country from me........ and are my go to guys.
I know this is an old thread, so I'm sorry for going all Thread Necromancer on it... I thought I'd add that Suncoast wants a 25% restocking fee if you have to send something back for a refund. I negotiated that down to 10%, but they started at 25%. Something to keep in mind when shopping.
Warehouse 33 has the best prices I've found on consumables - filters, etc - that I've run across, so I'll be shopping there from now on.
I have no affiliation with FCP Euro but the company is so great in so many ways, I will not buy from another retailer.
You can return parts up to 365 days!! I've had to return a few parts. SOOOO easy!
Look at all of the other retailers. Restocking fees, limited window on when you can return parts, and no warranty. Who cares if the prices are lower. In the end, you will pay more in frustration or money.
I don't use their lifetime warranty but it is nice to know it is there. The fact that they even offer it shows they are clearly different. I reward companies like that with loyalty. Clear example of "You get what you pay for".
