I've not seen anything I've purchased at *much* lower prices than
Amazon. Sometimes Amazon does charge a couple dollars more but it
sure beats the price of gas driving around and my time wasted.
And when Amazon accepts an order it's shipped and on time. However
most times Amazan beats everyone's prices. And nothing beats shopping
from the comfort of home. My only complaint about on line shopping is
getting rid of the corrogated cartons and packing materials. Chewy's
is the worst, lots cartons and packing materials. but can't complain
about the free right to my door service and low prices.
