I see the cost reduction you speak of but when there are no more brick & mortar stores near you & you have to drive 100miles to get service then the extra cost seem more reasonable. I like to see what I buy in my hand & not guess at the quality but to each their own.
Exactly!! Hence where I’ve come out ahead with prime! Any of us that live 20 miles from the nearest small town and 60 miles from an actual big enough town with stores, had better order online or all we’ll do is drive!
