Ask ASMC: Why shop Our Website vs Amazon/eBay/Walmart/etc?

Posted by Alex on 27th Nov 2018

You may have noticed that we offer many of our products on other online marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.com.  Some of you may wonder why would you shop our website, rather than one of these online retail giants where you may already have an account? 

Here are a few reasons:

  1. Lower pricing. Pricing on our website is always 5-10% lower than the same item offered on other marketplaces.
  2. Findability. We have put much time and effort into the filtered search on this website to make finding the exact parts you need quick and easy.
  3. Flexibility. Our website allows ordering by the piece for many items, and there is only one product page for each item with quantity based pricing. Our offers on other marketplaces are restricted to package quantities only.
  4. Larger catalog. We offer our entire catalog of over 60,000 items on our website. Our offers on other marketplaces are much smaller. For example, we only offer about 10,000 items on eBay.
  5. Faster handling. Our back-end system prioritizes website orders so all things being equal, they will ship sooner.
  6. Expedited shipping. We offer many expedited shipping methods on our website. Only standard shipping is offered on other online marketplaces.
  7. Promotions. We regularly run promos for money off. Please sign up for our newsletter.
