Maybe if it's a recurring purchase and the local store has a decent price (it doesn't need to be extremely better), I'll switch to buying from them. But that's rare.

    well if I don't find what I want in the store I go for Amazon. Also where I live, lately Amazon has some logistics problems like delayed delivery, lost/stolen packages, delivery to wrong address etc. last week a delivery guy was going around our neighborhood in the early morning hours in dark with a flash light. someone literally called a cop on him :-)
