Anybody ever wonder WHY the return/exchange policy on Amazon is soo good?
It’s only good until you abuse it and they cancel your account. Without notice. Yes, they do that to some customers who abuse the return policy.

I have had a couple returns that Amazon gave me the choice of returning the items or keeping them at no cost. That does not happen with pricey items but for inexpensive items I was given a choice. I believe it was mainly because they could see the inconvenience of repackaging and the drive to where you would send it off at. I use Amazon quite a bit because I absolutely hate crowds of people. I have even turned down Oregon Duck football free tickets because I don't want to be cooped up with people. Too many ignorant drunks cause me to want to hurt someone.

I didn't know that they did that... thanks for the heads up.
Yep! Amazon tracks a lot of data and who is returning stuff is one of them. Heard of a couple that had a habit of buying a bunch of stuff that were “Daily Deals” and then would try and sell it on eBay or craigslist quick for a quick buck and what they didn’t sell in a week or so, they would return. Amazon shut them down and put them in a 3 month timeout. Didn’t learn and went back to it after the 3 month period and Amazon shut them down completely and suspended their account permanently.


As for having you keep stuff and not sending it back, that is not uncommon. It’s all about cost and efficiency. For them to pay to get an item back that may or may not be repackaged properly, with the product possibly not in resellable condition, then to have some one receive, inspect, properly repackage if possible and then restock, many times it’s a lot more than the cost of the item.

No, unless it's worth it to you to pay for the color and/or cool factor. I've gotten Taylors when I find them for about the same price as the OEM ACDelco cuz I like their electric blue color.

ok good to know. didny know if i could see any performance gain with the 6.2l. and for the record, i would have went with race red.

NGK and ND make most of the AC Plugs....


Edit: Stay away from Bosch Plugs for the LS engines. They just don't seem to work well.

bought plugs and wires for my 2010 off rockauto. i always look the parts up on rockauto and compare prices and shipping on amazon. i have bought parts from both. i got the ac delco iridiums and also got a $25 rebate check from gm. so, they were free!
The rockauto autolite rebate is solid. Took a while but got plugs for both my LS vehicles for dirt cheap. Also ended up getting Taylor wires off amazon warehouse deals for also dirt cheap. They also had some cheap boot protectors that seem to work well with my headers.
