That might also go back to the "we can have it here from the warehouse by tomorrow" aspect of actually keeping parts in stock for vehicles as old as ours though too. And when ordering a part online, it seems that most searchable parts databases look pretty similar, meaning that they're probably all connected to some of the same "warehouses", which are usually district suppliers, not just local. Only one way to find out though.
