Um nope. This has been Pelican’s model since the beginning. I showed up at their location hoping to get some spares back in 2006 when I bought my Carerra4... I was disappointed to discover that they stock 5-10% of what is on the website, everything else is ordered in and repackaged then sent to customers.

That other automotive parts seller with a rock in its name drop ships directly from their suppliers. Shipments from them lately have been uninterrupted and on time.
