Interesting reply from RockAuto

Rock Auto seems like it has millions and millions of parts. I highly doubt they could fit every single part into one warehouse and just ship from there. The split shipping is an annoyance and I usually avoid it unless it's still the cheapest option available.

yeah but I find it highly unlikely that every order needs to be split into multiple shipments. I have yet to see a one depot order... even on multiples of the same part !
