One exception to this rule might be for rebuilt brake calipers and the like. No empirical evidence to say whether Napa/Autozone/Etc are any better or worse, but for same day or next day availability, I'd say your odds of getting good parts are very similar to the mail order houses.

1990 245 w/265k miles and two brand spanking new bullseye crack in the windshield (first in 3 years in AK - previously more or less unblemished) after driving too close to a tour bus down the Seward Highway this weekend. GRR!
