Why do you need a general online store? I'll just buy from specialized retailers most of the time. It's not really any extra effort.

Specialized stores sometimes cost more money (sometimes they don't). Also, the return policy and customer service is different from store-to-store. There's a lot of convenience in having an "everything" store.

Tried that a few times, and just felt like I was getting ripped off paying MORE for the product AND paying $20-30 shipping on top of that. Amazon is often cheaper and you get free shipping.

I've love to know of a better company that can compete, because I really can't afford to spend more just to spend more.
