Kirk, we've bought stuff at Amazon for years but now shop there even for items we would have bought locally in the past. Examples: socks, underwear, Band-aids, portable fan. Even ordered some clothing from Walmart because could not find it elsewhere.

Amazon makes returns easy: they provide a return label and you can either mail it or have UPS pick it up. We only use that when they send a wrong or damaged item [that's rare].

I've also ordered from the Costco web site a few times, even though we go to the store at least monthly.

I've never had close relationships with local store personnel anyway.

I usually consider the cost of driving as part of the purchase price when I go to local stores.
