NAPA's not what it used to be, that's for sure. There are still lots of good old-time auto parts stores that are NAPA franchises, but there's a whole flock of new ones that are just the OReilly type places where they don't know anything, have to order all your parts, but have lots of accessories and wash'n'wax stuff.
I'm curious why you special-ordered 6TLs, though, and how much they cost. As I run out of 6TLs in my military trucks, I just replace them with a pair of common batteries from costco or walmart, plus some wood blocks to keep them in place. The M35s don't really draw any ungodly huge amount of starting current, and regular batteries (remember, you have two of them) seem to do just fine.
