Same here. Ill hit all the LFS that are close to me before buying online. I'll go the extra step and ask the LFS if they can order certain items before I start spinning my wheels trying to find it online. Thanks how I bought my Bashsea sump and at a lower cost from ANY online vendor.I always shop from my LFS before online as well, but some things they dont carry and will take time. So it just depends. Also there are killer sales sometimes that I shop through.
I am wondering the same about the facility in Garden Grove, CA too.. because shipping from there is so fast to me... reading on the MD site: "BRS purchased Marine Depot and is consolidating operations to its headquarters in Golden Valley, Minnesota.".. not sure if that is all operations but it kind of sounds like it..Wonder if BRS will keep the MD distributing center in Atlanta?
I hear ya. But not all stores are the same!Here is the problem shopping with LFS( at least with me, and cannot generalize) --
a) if the LFS has nice looking store (pretty much using Radions, all system on apex yadda yadda yadda..), they are rude when doing the business. In my case, I did shop around for more than a couple hundred dollars. Never answer my questions, and looked me down. I wanted to give this LFS further business, but it was my only trip.
b) if the LFS is friendly (looks like dingy shop) they don't have the inventory.
I'm left with online stores like BRS, MD..

Which 3 stores are we talking about?I hear ya. But not all stores are the same!
We have 1 store here in my area that is HUGE, but they never have anything.
Another store around me that meets your #1 store you mention on your post, and they are great. If they dont have it they will order it for you if their supplier has it in stock.
Then there is the smaller store in my area that's only open 3 days a week cause they do maintenance all the other days, but he will order anything for you without even flinching.
This has been my experience in NC
When I lived in Florida it was completely different.
sent you a PMWhich 3 stores are we talking about?
Why should it help the customer? Their profit goes up thats all that matters.That sucks .... BS to BRS. Not getting warm fuzzies over here. I am failing to see how this benefits the consumer in any way.
