AF does have better lodging, I will not argue at all. I try to take advantage of it whenever I travel.

Jstue, it's a matter of communicating in a medium even the AF can understand. I felt it necessary to make that concession for your sake.

I don't know where jstue got his numbers, unless it's a different pricing matrix he has access to, or he's looking at some old prices.
For example: (GM Parts Direct - internet source)
You have to consider that the prices GMPD uses are "cost" plus a markup that covers S&H, and depending on location, tax.
92259332 Lid,Panel,Tailgate EMBLEM
List $59.88
Dealer cost$38.09 (Cost +10= $41.90)
92252462 Front End Ornamentation EMBLEM
List $51.26
Dealer Cost $32.60 (Cost +10= $35.86)
GMPD price for parts: $70.69
Shipping & Processing & Handling:$18.79
Your Total Charges: $89.48 (no tax outside NC)
That works out to a total markup of 26.5% over parts cost. Many times shipping more items ends up being more efficient for an online ordering situation--for example, if 3 of each emblem (total of 6) were ordered, the shipping cost drops from $18.79 to $16.96 per pair, and markup drops to 24%.
At my local dealer, I could buy them for about $82/pr (incl 6% tax) and there would still be shipping to contend with. Even at the lowest cost for Priority Mail, the price to (your) door would still be as much or more than what you see above--and I wouldn't be adding anything for my gas or time to chase down the parts and get them shipped.
It's likely that C.P. can beat the prices from GM SPO (US), by a good amount, but the hitch is getting them to you from Oz and still be competitive in total cost--maybe he'll weigh-in on this.

Different dealers operate at different markup levels, and in some cases have parts prices that can be different from other dealers. The info I posted was from a phone conversation I had with my local dealer, and the GM Parts Direct pricing matched the info I got from the local dealer. So, as I did say in my last post, the pricing matrix is apparently not the same at some locations--which must include where you are. I'm not in the parts biz, but dealer size or volume no doubt has an impact on what a given dealer pays for it's parts (from GM).
"Correct" pricing is a relative term, and, as a result, I stand by my numbers. I am not arguing that some sources--including you--can provide the same parts for a different price. dz28 is located in Michigan, but by the time the parts get from TX to his door, is it still the best he could have done? I don't know.....he asked a question and I gave my best-informed response. Glad to know you can do better, but it doesn't make my numbers wrong.
