As far as general purchases, we try to support our smaller, "mom-and-pop" retail stores wherever possible. As a result, we refuse to enter a Wal-Mart or K-Mart (other reasons apply here, as well).
But, except for two small electronics stores and some Radio Shack stores, I can get nothing locally other than small items. I will have to give AES credit for fast service. Yesterday I ordered a GAP Titan DX antenna, and I came home from lunch to find it waiting on the front porch. It must have been in stock in their Las Vegas store and shipped the same day. From here, Las Vegas is about 240 miles. Also, if I order from HRO, and the item is in stock at the Anaheim store about 50 miles from here, it will be here the next business day. 72/73 de Jim - AD6CW On 5/30/2012 12:26 PM, KENT TRIMBLE wrote: > I buy nothing over the internet except those items I simply cannot buy > here in town.
