Did you try asking them? I'm sure there's a 'contact us' link or something there.

I believe the private label is name brand stuff in there packing. The regular inventory is in a plain box.

I've wondered the same thing. But haven't ordered anything yet with that option to find out.

Private label is stuff like Moog tie rods in a NAPA box or Raybestos brake pads that say "Neverstop" or some such house brand.

I got my answer from rockauto themselves.
"Private label is an economy brand part.They generally have a shorter warranty time frame and are priced less as well.
The regular inventory generally is made with better quality material, have a longer warranty and are priced a little higher."
But why in the case of motor mounts for my dodge is the regular inventory $5.95 cheaper then the $14 private label part?
