MB Parts Websites White Label (RevolutionParts) - How do they work?

While searching for part numbers, I come across a ton of white labeled websites powered by RevolutionParts.IStes like mbparts, mynewbenzparts, benzofatlanta, etc. Are these places using the same parts warehouse? Are they dropshipping? For instance I choose one that listed their address as NY (close to me), does that mean they have my part in stock in NY?
I'm just a little confused by these site setups.

likely all drop ship from whatever dealer gives them the best true price with shipping. I agree I thought bc you think ok nearby online shows say $200 before shipping etc but if you walk in there it’s $400 bc has all the other back end cost added already.

I just placed/received an order with MBpartsdirect.com and would use them again. Before I ordered from them I tried MBOEMparts, who told me if they did not have the parts in stock they would cancel the order (they did not have them) and MBpartshub, who is temporary closed due to the virus.

interesting! So they do have different suppliers. I did notice they have different prices. I guess they just share the same software to run the store site.

There are several warehouses around the US and parts shops will try to get something from the closest one if they do not have it in stock, and if the part is not in the US it must be ordered from MB in Germany. I took delivery of my G550 on July 24th and am still waiting for a replacement steering wheel from Germany, which I was told would take about a month.

I have traditionally used these guys (many purchases) and they have been great. They two-day expressed an axle to me and I even bought a re-man transfer case from them. https://www.mercedespartscenter.com/
