Well I dislike shopping in general, and the fact that a trip to the local
shopping centre in now considered a "day out" is obscene to me. If I know
what I want, and I'm also happy with the price and delivery details, I'd
rather buy via they net and use the time I save do things I do like doing. I
view buying things over the net the same as I do telephone transactions.
Buy items and services over the net is just the same as getting car
insurance quotes, plane tickets, etc via the yellow pages. I feel no real
compulsion to give an insurance broker, or travel agent mark-up, so why
should Lego be any different.
The only way independent retailers can compete with the "big boys" is by
supplying a product with add value - not moral blackmail.
