If Marine Warehouse is your LFS then I could see why you would think that online prices are cheaper.
I shop primarily at FAOIS and find that there prices are more than comparable to online retailers in most cases.
Amen.

Unfortunately for some of us Faois is about twenty minutes further down the road and directly past Marine warehouse. :sad2:If Marine Warehouse is your LFS then I could see why you would think that online prices are cheaper.

A lot of online retailers have started charging this, I'm assuming due to pressure from the states. Even Amazon does now.
Cuzza, you said it! Online/internet whatever tou wanna call it. The problem with lfs and many stores compared to online retailers, is the convenience of me clicking and shopping. If I could get some comparable price on the equipment aspect of the hobby, i have no problem paying a touch more especially when that store may be close by and have livestock or something of interest to me on a weekly/monthly basis. I see absurd prices on old/ outdated "new" equipment and I tend to go to the next shop. Then ultimately get tired of driving in the tri-county area. We all know how fun that is.
If some of these shops would like to survive, I really think a point/click interface with their customers is what would help. Via a website I could see what products/brands they can order and what their price range is. Unfortunately the business model has changed like mentioned above and unless you're a very successful shop"which there are a few around" they will not make it. I almost think they've approached the problem by not carrying a lot of equipment due to the online competition and have stuck to the livestock portion more so. I have to say though, I have found where to go for some needs and where not to go.
If there was a quicker route than an hour away from faois I'd be there alot. Same with the corral. I do try to support my shops whenever I can though.
