I've bought a number off books, cd's and dvd's, a rowing machine, and recently a new radiator for my car.....the only grief was ordering a lacy, black corset, supposedly my size, but I swear a starving African would have had trouble getting into it!

I like to shop online. Most of the time it is cheaper.
But what I have started doing lately is, I window shop online, then I ring the shops in my local area and tell them what I want and how much I can get it for online. Then ask them if they can match it. So far they have. I live in a small town and I would like to spend my money here if possible, so I think it's fair to give them a chance.
Yes, sure have. Had good results and bad.
Bought a GHD straightener that wasn't - that is my biggest loss.
Otherwise, have happily and sucessfully bought cosmetics, cameras, watches, mobile phones, a dog (well made the contact online and got the photos that way!
), books, DVDs, CDs etc.
There is something special about getting a parcel of goodies!
But then you also have to wait for it.....no instant joy...
But yes, except for the GHD (and the Chinese crooks) a good experience.

I agree with you about buying local. I will only buy online if it is something I cannot find otherwise. Many things are just not available in stores, except for a mobile 'phone once, and there was no way anyone could possibly match the 2/3 price reduction.
I also buy my overseas airfares online these days. I used to offer the purchase to local travel agents for reasons you gave, but one just couldn't match it, the other could, but once I desperately needed to alter departure dates, and this local place was going to charge me around $800 for the privelege, with no guarantee of when I would get the paltry left over amount reimbursed. Now the online travel agent I use is Australian, and once needed to alter my father's return travel dates from o/s and it only cost $75 each for the agent and airline, to chage it.
Bad business practice on the part of the local agent as they miss out on good commission.
