Actually, Carquest OWNS Worldpac.  That creates issues for me, as they 
(carquest) sell parts retail for about what they'll sell 'em to me for.  
I get 2 Worldpac deliveries a day, with a 6PM and 9:30AM cutoff, and I 
also get UPS NDA deliveries from them with assorted source based 
cutoffs.  I do $5K plus a month, but I think there may be other discount 
criteria, because I know smaller shops that get a better deal than I.  
Nevertheless, they're my main source and I've been doing business with 
them, under one name or another (names changed as they grew) since 
1976.  As with the dealer, many parts are now sourced in China, and the 
quality has suffered.
