I always put to gether a rock Auto order and then do the same thing with Advance and O'Reilly and see who's cheaper.
If you can order parts that are all shipped from the same location, you'll save a lot.
I may have an advantage living in Atlanta. There are tons of parts warehouses in Atlanta from which many rock Auto parts come from. Frequently I've received rock Auto deliveries the very next day - even when ordering on a Sunday night.

IMHO there is value in supporting local business. No, I'm not a "purist". I do order items on line but, when I have a local option, I prefer to spend it local.

I mean to say "beginning," but "begging" actually fits better.

What difference does it make of they're paying warehouse workers to ship parts to you from another town? Some of their suppliers might even be in your town.

Just being courteous to one and all. Back to the topic at hand, at least until the code expires and this thread goes "poof" into the big round file in the sky.
