Auto Zone Ordeal

"..Hello this is Jorge from 218...the 'puter says you got 2 of these, can I get a physical stock check please on a part yadda yadda.....Ill hold. OK, can you set it under the counter for my customer Steve who will be there in 10 minutes? Thanks....and your name? OK, Greg, thanks." Works every time....We got the regional hub 7 miles away in Santa Ana for VatoZone. Special orders are just them ordering the parts to be shipped to their location. Out of their control but it is up to them to make sure it does get sent, and to notify you if there are any issues. They already got your money. @RustyRatRod Rob, Aren't these usually drop shipped from the manufacturer anyway? Buying direct would not be all that different but you would not have someone to question in person if they didn't arrive.

I don't know how Autozone works, but that does not work with O'Reilly. If you call your distribution center at O'Reilly and ask for a physical parts check, you get laughed at and hanged up on.
