EuroCarParts are famous for this. Different prices on Ebay, web and in

I was in an animal food supplier's recently and they had a big notice

words, it was dearer to buy from the shop.

Yes because the running costs of a High street "Bricks & Mortar" outlet
in a town/city are much higher than a warehouse out in the countryside.

Coincidentally, a "Dropshipper" has even lower costs than a warehouse
and can often operate out of a single office with suitable IT.

Several well known internet brands are really Dropshippers in disguise.

For instance I ordered 4 items recently from one Single well known website.

The items all came in 4 different parcels on 4 different days from 4
different warehouses.

I only had to pay 1 set of P&P, not 4 sets of P&P...
