Was looking at some power steering gear seal sets on CARiD for my 69 Firebird. Had a question though, is shipping all from the NJ address? or do you have other locations?

Here in Cranbury, NJ we have a main office, however we also work with numerous warehouses all around the country, so the parts may be coming to your door from different locations.
If you're interested in some particular item, just give me the item number or a product name, and I will check where it's going to be shipped from.
