I checked the price and availability of a motorhome battery before driving to this store to purchase in person. When I arrived, I was told the battery was $100 more than the online price and that they can't match the online price. The AAP website states:
"Prices on AdvanceAutoParts.com may vary based on the customer's zip code and may differ from in-store pricing. If a customer places an online order for pick up at a local store, they will receive the lesser of the two prices automatically. IF THE CUSTOMER PREFERS TO PURCHASE THE PRODUCT IN THE STORE, ADVANCE AUTO PARTS TEAM MEMBERS WILL MATCH THE ONLINE PRICE." [Emphasis mine.]
Clearly, this manager doesn't know how his company works.
I declined to buy the battery in person and went home to order for the online price. AAP offers SAME-DAY, FREE, AT-HOME DELIVERY, so I did that and an hour later the battery was delivered to my door by a Doordash driver. So, not only does the company offer the battery for the same price as the website delivered for free, but they PAY a fee to Doordash to have it done. Ridiculous. read more
