Rockauto gets it very close to correct.

The warehouse game (or at least the version that I play) is just to optimize shipping expense.

They've got a checkbox that says something like "Choose for me" that seems to help, but it kind of sucks if im being particular about a number of parts.

It would be better if I could just check all possible candidate parts as I compile an order to complete a project, and have it pick from just my selections.

(Like, maybe I don't care which brand of coated rotors I get -- at all -- so I check all of the coated rotors.

And maybe I'm happy with either Bendix or Powerstop pads, so I check both of them.

I also need an oil filter. I understand that in my car, Mahle is fine, so is Mann, and so is one particular Purolator, while I also understand that the low-end Fram is not OK.

So I might pick the candidates that make sense for me there, too.

And then, ideally: I push the "Now save me some money" button and it optimizes the order to ship one part for each set of candidates as cheaply as possible.

It doesn't seem to do this.)
