Hi Civil, thanks for your continued support.
I would like to give you a good answer about store prices versus internet prices, but I can't really go into all of the factors about why it costs more for you and us. The main components are labor, property. We could definitely be putting the square footage to far better use and it takes more time to service customers in the store versus printing an email and putting items in a box. Really it is all boring business stuff, we apply a small margin to our cost to determine price to customer and the margin associated with store sales tends to be slightly higher. Believe us, it is not because we are making more profit off of store sales! You will see this practice quite common among companies that operate on the internet and in a "brick&mortar" storefront, examples Costco-Walmart-Target-etc.
With the slight price differences, usually less than a few dollars per 1000 rds, it is still cheaper to buy in the store if you are local.
I hope this helps, and as stated previously the ARFCOM deal is the same price in store as on the web.
Thanks to all!
