I was at O'Reilly's in Cedar Park. Same thing at the store in Leander. The store managers didn't know abt the new regulation until they actually tried to make the order.
I agree the net offers waay more selection at a cheaper price. However it's a double edged sword. Once the local auto parts stores go tits-up, there goes my ability to repair my vehicles the same day they break.
That's the only reason I purchase my oil from them.

Similar story........I needed to ship some stud girdles back to Webster Industries, Bill the owner said use my account and gave me the number, I stop by a UPS store and tell the person I needed to ship these to Cali and here's the account #.........she said we're not part of UPS, ( really ) so I say what's that big UPS sign doing on the front of your building then, she said we're not tied to the main UPS ( WTF ) and cant use an account # for processing a shipment, ( Brilliant ) ......... so 38 bucks CASH later they were on the way.

One parts counter guy, been there about 20 years, I won't deal with because he has a huge chance of sending me wrong parts, believed - untile I figured it out and corrected him) that FWD is not Four Wheel Drive ! I noticed this after walking behind him and counter to grab my own parts. 20 yrs !!!!
I'll stop.....100's of issues over the years. 99% of time I have to do he ordering online to the store...if I have to use them...which of course I try not to.
Edit in: FYI. NAPA rebrands Dorman parts amongst others.
