Roger on that - sometimes I don't care if  I pay a little more to someone 
if I know I don't have to send my (whatever I bought) to some place just to 
get it fixed.

(I kinda feel the same way about a local restaurant where several of the 
girls "take care of me" because they know what I want and they go ahead and 
bring the extra salsa when they bring me the chips! I usually give them a 
fiver, where others leave only a buck.  It's amazing how so much little 
makes you feel good -- plus you generally get much better service to boot!! )

If someone local has something I want and I feel I want to buy from them, 
I'll gladly spend a little more bucks to get something local that I know 
that if I have a problem with it, all I have to do is bring it in and 
they'll fix it.

I'm pretty disappointed in some of the mail order guys.  Their stuff 
generally works, but if you have a problem with something, look out!  Get 
ready for a hassle.
