October's
Trivia
Question:
Where did
the Z28 name
come from?
Answer:
The name is
based upon
the Regular
Production
Option Codes
- RPO Code:
Z28
(PERFORMANCE
PACKAGE,SPECIAL).
You can find
that GM
"names" many
vehicles
with
designations
using the
RPO codes
such as the
Z06 Corvette
or the Z71
truck
package.

Food for
thought...
Shipping
Methods
|
 We
often see
many orders
come through
our online
system where
people could
have saved
money if
they chose a
different
shipping
option. We
thought we
would pass
on some
information
to you, our
customers,
to help you
become more
informed
consumers
regarding
shipping.
We, at RMS,
try not to
"make" money
on
shipping.
However,
there are
many other
companies
out there
who do!
Here are
some tips to
look for if
given the
choice of
shipping
options.
1. If the
item you are
purchasing
is an item
under 1 lb.
and small,
your least
expensive
option will
most likely
be USPS
Priority
Mail. This
option
should be no
more that
$5.50
depending on
how far you
are from the
shippers
location.
Of course,
pricing goes
up with
added
weight.
2. If the
item you are
purchasing
is an item
of some
weight, such
as rotors
and starter
motors, then
UPS will
usually be
less
expensive
than USPS
Priority
Mail.
3. If you
are shipping
international,
then your
best option
usually is
USPS
Priority
Mail
International
or if you
really need
it quickly,
Express Mail
International.
There are
pro's and
con's for
each
carrier:
 USPS
Priority
Mail's
tracking
information
is
lackluster,
at best.
You will
sometimes
get your
package well
before the
item is even
tracked
online.
However, the
mail does
seem to get
there within
about 3
shipping
days from
shipment and
light/small
items are
very
inexpensive
to ship.
 UPS
does have a
much better
tracking
system.
Packages do
arrive on
the schedule
date most of
the time.
However,
their cost
is higher
than USPS
for
smaller/lighter
packages and
costs
associated
with
Overnight
Shipping and
even 2nd Day
Air, are
expensive.
Some of you
may have
noticed that
we no longer
offer FedEx
as a
shipping
option.
This is due
to way too
many
shipping/delivery
errors on
their part
and their
general
vendor
service has
fallen deaf
over the
years. If
you would
prefer FedEx
for your
shipment,
give us a
call and we
will
accommodate
your wish.
If you have
a question
as to which
shipping
method would
be best for
your order,
select the
shipping
company
options from
our shipping
estimator in
your
shopping
cart after
selecting
your state
and imputing
your
ZIP/Postal
Code (see
picture
below). If
you have
additional
questions,
give us a
call and let
us help you.
