I remember a customer asking me to get him a scanner once (only a fairly
low end thing). So I checked with a trade supplier, and could get it for
(say) £60 + £10 P&P. I then checked an online retailer, and found I
could get it for £58 with free delivery. So I did that instead. I was
amused when it turned up that it had been drop shipped to me direct by
the original trade only wholesaler that quoted me £60 in the first place!

My plaster from Ebay came from Jewsons.

I was slightly annoyed as Ebay packages usually come by Hermes and the nice lady carries them up the stairs.

She might not have been so nice about a pallet-load though.
