Rugbier said:Nice analogy, but I think you forgot one very important part of the equation... SERVICE
Sometimes price it is not the only driving factor, if you order something, it is becasue you want / need it at a particular time.
And maybe Company B has a lower price but their service sucks, therefore, you are better off spending that extra dime and get what you want when you want it.
I think, without names , we all have been expossed in the Rover World to those type of scenarios
FWIW
You are right, and I agree completely. My analogy here was based solely on the product at hand - pelicans. Also, I've ordered from that site and their shipping is quick.
I don't always need something immediately when I order it. It is nice to get quick service, regardless.
