In addition to helping the local economy, there are other advantages to shopping locally:
* You get personal service, so if something doesn't work or fit, you have someone to personally talk to and you are able to exchange it without incurring shipping charges.
* When you buy locally, you’re able to try it on so it fits. It was exactly what you were looking for because you saw it in person.
* When shopping on-line you order things "you think" are going to “work” but when they arrive they don't fit, it’s the wrong color, and not right for your body type. These are issues heard over and over when ordering on line.
* When shop locally you are personally fitted and helped to find just the right size/item. Shopping locally affords you the expertise to find the perfect item that would best fit your request.
** Why pay for expedited shipping that typically never arrives when expected, which is normally during a time when you need the product the most. Buy locally to receive the item, immediately.
In addition to the aforementioned, when ordering from an on-line discount supplier, you run the risk of several other issues:
* When you order, you end up paying the same less a few dollars due to shipping and process charges. You could have shopped locally, tried it on or gotten fitted and walked out with your shoes/leotard that same day for only a few dollars more.
* When an on-line discount supplier sells items, that is all they do, they sell. If you have any questions/problems with the shoes then you end up having to “deal with it”, because again an on-line discount supplier is only a seller of the goods, not a retailer.
* The prices that you are getting from an on-line discount supplier can at times be for shoes or items that are "seconds." Seconds meaning ones that were made for the “brand name” company that suddenly decided that the batch wasn't passing their quality inspection, so the on-line discount supplier buys that “rejected” batch for a deeply discounted price.
