I had the exact thing happen just a couple of days ago. I threw the entire cart away. The next day, I put it all back together and it all shipped from 1 location. Random, for sure.

I've had the opposite happen, where I get a cart where everything is shipping from the same location. Fall asleep. Then several hours later go to place the order just to find it's now shipping from three different locations.

That is totally understandable. Everything is computer tracked. At the time you filled your cart, the items were in one place. While you were having your beauty sleep, someone else snatched it out from under you necessitating an alternate source location. If you want the item(s), get 'er done.

It's kind of hard to "get them" when you have items in you cart showing they are all shipping from one location. And then you add one more item to your cart, and then you now get three shipping locations.

That's quite possible. However, that's not what you said in the post I quoted. I attempted to explain to you a reason for what happened - happened.

Over the years, I've ordered a lot of parts for all my vehicles from Rock Auto. Been a good experience every time.

I agree the parts stores not what they were back in the day I try to stay away .I like ordering on line BUT shipping OK were is my stuff :We delivered it ) were did you deliver it to I don't have it and what did you send me ? Getting parts not as easy as it once was not all but most pain in the rear ,getting parts used to be the easy part and working on the ride was the hard part how about 50/50 .Parts gathering has turned into a hassel ..
