Do You Regret Ordering Online?

[Doc_Klueless]

I'm buying one complete set (the one with the slip cover) from Amazon and one set from the FLGS (Aero Hobbies, Santa Monica, CA). One set is a gift for a friend; the other is for me. My income is large enough that I can afford to buy two sets and I do want to support the local gaming community, but it's not so large I can just toss money around without feeling a little guilty about it.

Ok, it IS large enough to do that, but too many years of barely being able to buy food has left a huge mark.

I bought (via buy.com) based solely on price, so I don't really care when it shows. (It has shipped, be here next week.)

I was starting to get anxious, but Amazon.com shipped my books tonight with a scheduled delivery of tomorrow (one day shipping).

I regret ordering the DM screen from Amazon (late August??), but I'm happy to go support my FLGS tonight.

Walked into my FLGS today and picked up the set for $52.48. And that wasn't even money out of my bank account - I'd sold a few old DVDs, ex-wife's stuff. This is why I almost never, and I mean never ever, order books online if I can get them locally first.

I do not regret going online, because it is truely my only option. If I were in the states, I would have supported my local shop, even if it cost a bit more, or actually a lot more.

No regrets so far, my ship date was always listed as the tenth, while I'm hoping to get it sooner, so long as I get it within the next week or two I'm happy. I'm saving 47 and change that's a good amount of dough. Now if I get that bull crap of waiting over a month like Mcrow did, well then it'll be not so much regret for ordering, but disappointment that I didn't get to save some of my hard earned money, as I'll have to get it somewhere else cause I don't want to wait that long.

I live in the sticks. The nearest thing passing for a FLGS is 7 hours away by fast car.

Ordering online is my only option unless I am willing to travel 14 hours round trip and pay the fuel cost of that trip. Anyone keeping track of what fuel is these days?..... the trip alone would exceed what I would pay for the books at MSRP.

Regret ordering online.....hell no.

I'll happily wait a little bit since the price was so good. As it turns out, I'll have it tomorrow.

I'm getting my books at my FLGS tomorrow. I don;t really care what they will charge (but I know it will be lower than any other place in town) I buy 95% of my gaming material from them, they are friends, and one of the owners is in my 3E Eberron game.
