I know how to find out where it is shipping from AFTER I get the shipping confirmation.

How do I find out where it is shipping from BEFORE I place the order?

I don't think that's possible, sir. They're going to select that based on availability and the cheapest shipping options. I'm in California, so shipping from the Bronx must have been the only option for the KYB shocks or the Chrysler 300C sun visor clip I ordered.

A few years back, for about maybe 6 months, they did list out the location of A B C etc... but they stopped doing it.

I have seen the same bizarre scenario that gto4ever described, many times.
In most cases it was a better option to buy the offending part that caused everything to do a switcharoo - from eBay Buy-it-Now with free shipping.
And get the rest of the main items from RA.

Another oddity i have hit a few times is shipping on gallon containers of synthetic lubricants.
Up to 6 gallons can ship for the same cost as 1 gallon ($9.00)
Try doing that at your local FedX

All in All - i love RA
And hate The Big 3 auto part chain stores
