For broken things, I want to fix them right away, like NOW! Amazon can't do this. . . as a visual person, looking physically at the product I can tell if it would fit. I currently have two RV part online orders which don't fit, one from amazon, one from the mfg, and both are supposedly the correct part and the only part. One of the tip offs is that the item purchased is a different material than the RV assembly. . so I have to go to the RV dealer, a different RV dealer than the one which told me which part it is to buy from the mfg.
Online is great when the item is near commodity or mass produced. If so, and I need/want it today as today is the day I have scheduled to the project, then store it is. My schedule is tight, if I can't finish the project at the scheduled time, it goes unfinished until I have time again.
everyone is different and the more DIY you do, and poop happens, the more one goes to the store.
