I coulda bought it at Summit for $47.97 + $9.95 shipping. If I spent another $52.03 I'd get FREE Shipping. Didn't need anything right now, so Rock Auto ended up being a $5 better deal, and $7 better deal with GMSB discount.

Or Rock Auto for $43.99 - 5% GMSB = $41.79 + $8.93 shipping.

Total $50.72 for a new Dorman OE Style Harmonic Balancer for the C20 454.

Rock Auto is not a bad deal at all if you need 1 or like items that are shipped from the same place. But you can buy 6 or 7 items, and if the cost isn't really really cheap, then shipping can hurt your deal cuz they ship from different warehouses around the country.
Last purchase I made was AC Delco plug wires. They were like $45-$60 wire sets at Advance or A Zone. But I got them on closeout or some ******** for about $18 a set and because they were shipped from the same warehouse, shipping didn't hurt. Then the 5% discount helped too, so it was a steal deal.
With this purchase, if I had need another $50 in parts, I'd have gotten FREE shipping from Summit and even with the prices being a little higher at Summit, then Summit would have been the better deal. But 90% of the time, Rock Auto is the better place with good name brand quality items and shipping is fairly quick too. My plugs wires showed up the next day, so I'm sure they probably shipped out of Dallas or Wichita since whatever I get those from those suburbs is usually 1 day shipping even by ground.

I stil try to stay loyal to Rock Auto though since they support the forum.
