*Or drive that far, go to three or four supply stores, not find what you are looking for, go home empty handed and order it online.*
Not to mention the amount of money you can save ordering online. I can’t tell you the amount of money we have saved on car parts, key fobs, etc. vs going to the local Auto Zone or other chain parts store.
For example, my son needed new headlight assemblies for his car. One was around $150 without the bulb. That was the cheapest we could find locally. We ordered the same headlight assemblies with bulbs, for $80 for both. All we had to do was wait a few days.
I recently was shopping for a new security system and an added surveillance system for our house. Wow! at the prices I got around town. For about $500 I found exactly what I wanted on Amazon. Couldn’t touch anything for that in stores.
