Not sure on how the other online stores work, but I know when you use napaonline they basically cut their store owners off. Most stores are privately owned. The napaonline outlet prices their parts like they were selling direct to you, cutting the store owners out of the profits, then making the store owners deal with the parts handling/core returns. Not saying that the parts should be twice as much like some have posted, but I would expect a small increase so the store itself would make some $$

Even better, i've seen Napa put up sale prices that are lower then they charged the store owner for his inventory.
