They are a mail order company that farms out the sales to different warehouses or vendors
Im pretty sure the return labels dont say RockAuto
post office isnt my problem when others offer it cheaper or free ship.
Just because they ship from different locations isnt my problem either
The need to step up there game or increase that BS 5% off
Buy one part at a time.... 
I mentioned this in another thread, I think it was the O'reilly parts quality thread. Don't recall.
Rockauto can be awesome, but only if the entire shipment is coming out of one warehouse. Always double check before you order crap from them.

I run every part# through Amazon, for comparison. If it's STOCKED and SHIPPED through Amazon, it's almost always cheaper than the competition. Here's the deal... You, and Me, can sell on Amazon, as 3rd party sellers. My price on VR1 oil, is NOT going to be as cheap as Amazon's, and MY oil will not qualify for Prime's " free shipping ", because I'm a 3rd party seller. So any item that is STOCKED and SHIPPED through Amazon will qualify for Prime's free shipping. Almost guaranteed to be cheapest option. I am a Prime member. Now, add in my Amazon Employee discount, and I got the upper hand on ALOT of purchases. I'm also a huge JEGS supporter. They carry items that Amazon does not. They send me MANY discount offers. They also " price match ", and offer free shipping over $99. So, I wait until I have $99 worth of stuff in " My Cart " and then use my discount offer, and as most of you know... That's how I do it. So as stated above, in a previous post, do the math, Google your part #'s, and you may be surprised how far you can stretch that dollar. I'll end this on a Positive note for Rock Auto... they sell Mopar parts. So that water pump I needed for my Hemi Ram, was $220 at the dealer. NOT!! I started looking around... the same Mopar part # on Rock Auto was $140 = SOLD.

It's like everything else in life....if you don't do your homework and take the easy/lazy way out, it's going to cost you.
Like others, I always look at alternatives if there's going to be more than one warehouse involved. Usually, there is a way to get the good brands with a little selective part management.
Very occasionally, i find O'Reilly to be cost competitive. Bought a trans cable for a few cents more than Rock's price this week
Jegs and Summit are OK, but 3 days from Arlington TX to OKC for an in-stock item? Orders are picked fast and ready for shipment, but seems like their pickups take longer than others
