I see it time and time again.
Also you can order local but it may take several weeks but amazon can have it there the next day. Hard to pass that up if you just need that one last part for your car.
I work for a web and retail operation. Be aware that the local stores are buying parts from us and marking them up. Many times local is not as local as you think. 🤔
Most reputable auto parts stores will have non-stocked parts the next day, or later the same day.

Depends on the part. Also like I said they will at times buy it from the web source you are avoiding. In the end people go for cost.
Not saying you are wrong but like I said everyone complains but they still shop price. Human nature is what it is.
All my local parts stores that were old and independent have been gone for a long time. The Local Auto Zone and O Rileys killed them.
