70%, includes stuff the local store has to get because they don’t stock it. It’s not that we work on ‘unique’ stuff, we are in a rural area.

<5%. We may have to wait overnight if our main warehouse doesn’t have the part and they have to get it from one of their other locations.

about 15-20 % are not available same day locally.

I should add that I expect that number to grow in the near future.
Warehouses, parts suppliers are cutting back on stock to survive the economic conditions.
