Not a plug for myself and I cant speak for others but in my venture, as Big Kev points out, many Rep the product.

I have picked up many product lines and due to the diversity, I can not at this point afford to stock a lot. I.e. I cant stock all the various piston oversize's for multiple engines and expect to break even However, I can have the product in house from the OEM in 2 days.

I personally ship complete and will not accept broken shipments, If there is not enough stock, I wait for a production run to obtain a set.

for larger mechanical and body parts, I have partnered with several yards across the states and I can pull a product in no time, but obviously, I cant bring on site stock of bumpers and windshields etc.

It is the new Norm.
