so over time i have noticed that a lot of the online parts places use the same data base. its the data base that can be seen on this website and it appears on lots of other sites i have been to. http://www.importedcarparts.com/ so i was wondering about this data base. i assume that these companies pay a subscription fee to the data base company. but then i was wondering if it was more than that. does anyone know if the company that runs the data base might also run the warehouse network as well? so for example if i order from company x using this data base would i be getting the same parts from the same parts manufacturer coming from the same warehouse if i ordered from company y instead? jonathan |
