Default Anything wrong with using Boch O2 sensors

I have searched and searched and havent found anything. I have heard some complaints through hear say on the site but nobody actually saying they had problems with them. I was going to get them from gmpartsdirect for like $60 a piece but they charge like $12 a piece for shipping. Please help me out with some info. Thanks.

GMPartsDirect's shipping is a ripoff. You are better off buying from a dealership. I heard some people that use the Bosch O2s say they were a little better, but I don't really know for sure.

gmparts direct is definately not a rip of by any means. they have them priced for about $60 a piece. its just that its $12.00 shipping a peice so it comes up to like $73-$74 a peice after everything. I called 3 dealerships and they wanted $110-$150 a peice. so that was a definte savings. The bosch ones r only like $55 a piece.

That's what I said...the shipping is a ripoff. It makes their prices look good, but their shipping prices suck.
