STORE SHOPPING LIST
In a Hurry? Speed Up Your Visit with Shopping Lists
Build your shopping list on AutoZone.com and send it directly to your local store. You’ll save time because you won’t have to search for the parts you need at the counter – we already know what you need!
Talk about convenience! In addition to printing your AutoZone.com shopping list at home, you can now send your shopping list directly to the parts counter at your local AutoZone store.
After you’ve made your shopping list, click the “Send List to Store” button and your list will be waiting for you at your preferred AutoZone. All you have to do is tell the AutoZoner behind the counter that you’ve made an AutoZone.com shopping list, and he or she will take it from there. Plus, once you buy your parts, all of your warranty information will be registered automatically in our national warranty database.
What actually happens when I send my shopping list to a store?
What you’re doing is entering your parts wishlist into AutoZone’s computer database, which can then be accessed from your selected AutoZone store.
Why is it faster to send my shopping list to a store from AutoZone.com?
Because all of the information an AutoZoner needs to get your parts off the shelf is already in the computer. Plus, if you’re picking up a part with a warranty, your shopping list automatically registers it for you.
How long will my shopping list be on AutoZone’s store computers?
Your list will be in the computer until the end of the day.
What about after that?
Your shopping list disappears if you don’t stop by an AutoZone store and make your purchase. If you still want the parts, simply re-enter the shopping list.
Can I alter my shopping list at the store?
Yes. Your shopping list is a time-saving tool, not an agreement to purchase specific items. Feel free to change anything on it.
Are my parts on hold?
No. Your AutoZone.com shopping list does not reserve your parts. Remember, it’s a time-saving tool. If you want to reserve specific parts, call your neighborhood store and ask that your parts be put on hold. Or check out
Buy Online and Pick Up In Store to purchase your parts online and have them ready when you get to the store
If I successfully send my list to the store, does that mean my parts are in stock?
If your parts are not available at your neighborhood store, AutoZone.com will let you know. In other words, if your shopping list is sent successfully, your parts are in stock.
Why do you want my phone number?
We use your unique phone number as your reservation number for the shopping list and as the reference number for all warranties you have on AutoZone parts.
Will you use my phone number for any other purpose?
No. We value your privacy as much as you do, and will not use your phone number for any purpose other than recording your warranty and shopping list information in our store computers. We believe carefully protected phone numbers are the safest, most accurate way to record unique warranty information. For more details on our dedication to your privacy, read our
Privacy Policy. .
What do I need to take to the store to pick up the parts on my shopping list?
Nothing. Simply approach the parts counter, give the AutoZoner your phone number, and your information will appear on the screen.
Can I pay online and pick up the parts at a store?
Absolutely! We offer Buy Online and Pick Up In Store at many AutoZone locations, and we’re rolling out new stores with the Pick Up In Store option all the time. To find out more about this option, read about

Rush delivery will be delivered in two days and Express will arrive the next day. Delivery duration for freight and international is typically longer than Standard delivery and will vary based on the destination address and the carrier. Free shipping promotions do not apply to freight or international shipments.

Depending on an item’s size, weight, availability and other factors, the items in an order may be shipped as multiple shipments or may be shipped from different locations. Shipping methods for all items in an order will be the shipping options you choose at checkout. Delivery times of these items will depend on the shipping option chosen. Some portion of the order, containing special order items may be charged on order submission.
Each shipping option is priced differently. Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii will incur a $10.00 FedEx delivery fee which is included in your total charge at the time of your order.

Next Day cut-off times change for different parts of the country, but we have made it easy for you to track. When adding an item to your cart, you will see the NDD cut off time next to where you select NDD. The final cut-off time will appear in your cart or on the order summary page. If you select NDD after the cut-off time, we will show you the new estimated delivery date.
What can I ship using Next Day Delivery?
You can only ship items listed as NDD eligible to certain zip codes for next day delivery. If you see the “NEXT DAY DELIVERY ELIGIBLE” badge on the product’s detail page, that is the best indicator. When you add an item to your cart, you will see a NEXT DAY message if the product can ship to that zip code next day. It will also display the time that you need to place the order by in order to get the item on the next day.
What if the Next Day Delivery products I order are not available?
Product availability and order time may affect our ability to meet the promised NDD time. If any of the items you ordered are not available at our warehouse, we will attempt to source the part and have it shipped to you via FedEx Standard Overnight. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to find the part or that it will be delivered to you by the next day due to factors beyond our control.
What if I am a ShopRunner customer?
AutoZone’s NDD program is separate from ShopRunner (Free Two-Day Delivery) delivery. If you’re logged in to ShopRunner, you will not be able to use AutoZone’s NDD program.
What if I have a P.O. Box or APO address?
NDD is not available for P.O. Box, APO/FPO/DPO or US Territory addresses at this time.
What destinations are included in the Next Day Delivery program?
AutoZone’s Next Day Delivery program is available for select zip codes on specific days. The Next Day message on an item’s product page will let you know if that item is ready for NDD based on your current address. NDD availability may change based on the actual address to which the product(s) will be shipped.
How do I return a Next Day Delivery item?
Just like any other order. If you aren’t satisfied with your order, bring it to your local AutoZone with your order receipt. We will refund your payment using the same method you used when placing the order (credit card, PayPal, etc.).

CORE CHARGES
Below are answers to frequently asked questions about core charges.
What is a core?
When a vehicle is repaired, the old or failed part that was replaced is called a core. These cores are then remanufactured (recycled) by companies to original equipment specifications. Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them,replacing the faulty and/or worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original function.The testing and procedures are the same as the original equipment manufacturers.
How do I get the core deposit back?
Simply bring the core back to any AutoZone store along with your receipt and your core refund will be issued! You can also send your core back to AutoZone.com’s Fulfillment Center along with your Product and Core Return Form (reverse side of your shipping invoice) to receive your core refund. Returning the core allows parts to be remanufactured / recycled. Bringing back your core helps save our environment by keeping approximately 54,000 tons of cores out of landfills annually!
