But the retailer is exceeding the online service by letting you get up close and personal with the goods! You cant have your cake and eat it!
Not to mention giving good advice and simply being there so you can get the filter you need for tomorrow since you dropped the last one and it broke. Or the battery you need because the old one refuses to accept charge just in time for tonight's shoot etc..
Small retailers can't compete on price with the big boys (including Jessops) but still have relatively large overheads compared to warehouses (city centre business rates are massive compared to out of town trading estates - not to mention that a lot of "warehouses" are garages (frequently on the wrong side of planning laws and local bylaws).
