Some stuff they ship out of their own warehouses, or drop-ship with their name on it. Each item page tells you where its coming from. This stuff says Ships from and sold by Small Parts, Inc., whereas other items that they sell say Ships from and sold by Amazon.com, and so on for various (hundreds maybe?) other companies they partner with. Only stuff they sell qualifies for shipping promotions (Free budget over $25, Amazon Prime). It can get quite annoying when you want to look for stuff that ships directly from them (I used to have an Amazon Prime membership (it was free for 3 months when I signed up for their Visa card)), I never found a way to only show their items.
