I’ll probably explain this bad but here goes. Rock Auto doesn’t work like most online retailers and they will charge you shipping for every package in an order if they ship from different warehouses. So once you add an item to your cart you’ll notice letters next to other items as you shop, possibly an “A” at first. That means everything you see with an “A” will ship from the same warehouse. You want to try to purchase items that all ship from the same place or you will pay the full shipping price for each shipment. I’m assuming you didn’t because I’ve never paid them $26 in shipping even for brake rotors. But that’s where they shine is once you make one purchase you can find small items that are quite inexpensive and add them to your order and it doesn’t really add up to much more shipping cost. That’s what the other person meant by only paying shipping once. Hope that helped.

What really sucks is of you ever have to return said items, they all have to be sent back to each warehouse, A then B then C etc. So it really blows when you have to pay shipping to 2 different warehouses.

Aha! That makes more sense and that's a great tip. Yeah, it was shipping from three different warehouses so that explains the $26. Thanks for the explanation!
