I suspect Autohauz works out of inventories owned by other folks and "drop ships" some of what the list and sell, packed to appear it comes directly from them. That would easily explain the delays and "shipping lag".
It's a win / win / win all around because who ever has "dead inventory" gets it sold, Autohauz gets a cut for marketing it, and we get factory parts at cheap prices. What do you think?
