Remember, the only reasons ANY businesses make money is because of hiking the price off of the last person or entity's price. The markup on things in your typical department stores is hideous. If you knew what Macy's pays to get each article of clothing from the manufacturer, it'd probably anger you.
Let's say I live 45 miles from a Walmart, but I see a carrier I like online. It's 20 bucks at the store, and 40 online. So should I drive 90 miles roundtrip, burn the gas and waste my time, or should I buy it online?? Different strokes for different folks... | It was an example that was defended in this thread.
