Head-to-head comparison
Standard Auto Part vs. RockAuto & other US auto parts retailers
Canadian buyers ordering from RockAuto or other US-based auto parts sites face import duties, customs brokerage fees, and multi-week shipping delays that are not reflected in the advertised price. Standard Auto Part eliminates all of those costs — every part ships domestically from Canadian inventory.
The full picture
Why Canadian buyers pay more when ordering from RockAuto
RockAuto is a popular US auto parts site but it is not optimised for Canadian buyers. The advertised price is just the starting point — by the time import duties, brokerage fees, and cross-border shipping are added, the total cost is often significantly higher than buying from a Canadian-stocked supplier like Standard Auto Part.
Import duties add 15–30% to your total cost
When ordering auto parts from RockAuto or any US-based supplier, Canadian customers are responsible for paying import duties and customs brokerage fees — typically 15–30% of the declared order value. These charges are often collected only after the shipment is in transit, making the true cost unpredictable and much higher than the listed price. Standard Auto Part holds all inventory inside Canada across five warehouse locations (Edmonton AB, Calgary AB, North York ON, Mississauga ON, Quebec QC), so Canadian orders are never subject to import duties.
Cross-border delays mean days or weeks without your vehicle
A "5-day estimated delivery" from RockAuto in the US routinely becomes 2–3 weeks by the time the shipment clears Canadian customs. Every day your vehicle is off the road has a real cost. Standard Auto Part ships from within Canada across five warehouse locations — no border crossing, no customs queue. Most metro customers receive their order within 1 to 3 business days, and Edmonton customers can pick up the next business day.
"Free shipping" means higher part prices — not a real saving
Retailers that advertise free shipping do not absorb that cost — they build it into the unit price of every part. You pay the inflated price regardless of where you live or how close you are to a warehouse. Standard Auto Part charges the actual shipping cost based on your postal code and distance from our nearest warehouse location. This keeps base part prices genuinely lower, and Edmonton customers can eliminate shipping entirely with free warehouse pickup.
Limited lifetime warranty — backed by a Canadian team
Most parts sold by Standard Auto Part carry a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. If a part fails under normal use due to a defect, we replace it. Warranty claims are handled directly by our Canadian team at sales@standardautopart.ca — no cross-border returns, no dealing with a US seller who doesn't know Canadian consumer rights.
OEM-quality parts from vetted brands — not grey-market unknowns
Every part we carry meets or exceeds OEM specifications. Our catalog includes trusted brands: SIM (steering & suspension), PUR Filters (cabin & engine filters), Mpulse (sensors & ignition), Kobra (brakes & rotors), Flextreme (drive line & axle), AmeriBRAKES (brake pads), and Top Quality (multi-category). No grey-market products. No unvetted third-party sellers.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay import duties or customs fees ordering from Standard Auto Part?
No — never. All of our inventory is physically stocked inside Canada. When you order from Standard Auto Part, your part never crosses the US–Canada border, so import duties and customs brokerage fees do not apply. This is the key difference from RockAuto and other US-based auto parts retailers, where Canadian customers must pay duties on every order — often adding 15–30% or more to the total cost at delivery.
How does free local pickup work in Edmonton?
Place your order online at standardautopart.com and select local pickup at checkout. Orders placed before 12:00 PM on a business day will be ready for collection the next business day at our Edmonton warehouse — Unit 16–11830 152 ST NW, Edmonton, AB. Orders placed after 12:00 PM or on weekends will be ready the following business day. Pickup is completely free. We will send a confirmation when your part is ready. Warehouse hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Walk-in purchases without a prior online order are not available.
Is Standard Auto Part cheaper than RockAuto for Canadian buyers?
Yes — in most cases Standard Auto Part offers a significantly lower total cost for Canadian buyers. RockAuto's advertised prices do not include Canadian import duties, brokerage fees, or the cost of waiting 2–3 weeks for cross-border delivery. Standard Auto Part items are priced up to 70% off, use real location-based shipping rates with no hidden markup, and are subject to zero import duties. Edmonton customers can pick up for free. When all costs are compared, Standard Auto Part is the better value for Canadians in most situations.
How long does shipping take across Canada?
Standard Auto Part ships from Canadian warehouses so there are no customs delays. Most major metro areas — including Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Montreal, and Halifax — receive orders within 1 to 3 business days. Most of Canada receives orders within 5 business days. Remote and rural regions may take longer; contact us before ordering for a quote. Compare this to RockAuto, where cross-border shipping from the US typically takes 2 to 3 weeks once customs is factored in.
What warranty comes with parts from Standard Auto Part?
