Using local companies can be good!

There's also the convenience and speed of buying local, which can be worth a premium, depending on how quickly you want something etc...

We looked to buy a new TV on amazon.es, anyway was all bit of a problem ( my amazon es account got frozen in the process either because I was actually hacked or because they thought I was being hacked as it was a large purchase..) and it became a bit of a pain in the proverbial. Had to cancel bank cards etc . Had done our research online though on TV reviews etc , decided to just buy from Don De, delivered that day, set up for us etc etc. Much easier! A bit more expensive but worth every penny....
