So Rock Auto doesn't have the parts in stock that i need?
Do any of y'all have an alternative that you use for genuine parts? Stealership? Something else online?

[Lester Lugnut]

There are countless Toyota dealers who sell online.

I've bought from many. The one I feel gives you the best bang for the buck is:

https://parts.olathetoyota.com/auto-parts/toyota

They are not the cheapest, but the cheapest ain't no good.

Beware of the low seller - their shipping costs usually cancel out their lower part(s) price.

My local dealer matches online prices, I take online price with me to parts counter they've never turned me down yet.

I order online through my local Toyota dealership and pick it up. There online price and in person price is totally different.

For oem genuine parts I always go to eBay first. I find the part number and put it in and it usually has the best price on new OEM vs other websites. Most of the time it ends up being a dealership selling it through eBay anyways, it just shows the cheapest ones.

I use Toyota Parts Deal for OEM parts.

Surprised you can’t find it on Rock Auto.

I went to stealership for some OEM parts, stealership in my local area offers veteran discounts on parts, and their sticker prices were the same as online Toyota vendors without the insane shipping costs.

This...

However, in my experience, it only applies to in stock parts. Anything that needs shipping to their location costs the same/more than buying it yourself sometimes.

My dealer must be pretty good folks then, hasn't mattered if they have it in stock
or not, in fact most of what I've purchased has not been.

Just an FYI, I use McGeorge Toyota to buy my OEM parts because I haven't seen but very few online Toyota dealers if any who sell online to even come close to their prices, I just saw this post of your's and thought you may have a point on the shipping making it more expensive to buy from those with a lower price....so I looked at your OEM parts source and pick out a certain part just for comparision, the part is Lock Actuator Part Number: 69110-35090, I then selected the same part at McGeorge Toyota....well McGeorge is cheaper by $30.45, the part is $249.17 at your source and $218.72 at McGeorge, the shipping to my address is $10.93 cheaper at McGeorge than your source, the shipping at your source is $26.41, at McGeorge it's $15.48, so at McGeorge the same part with shipping would be $41.38 cheaper from McGeorge to my address.
