Yes, you can get most components cheaper on line but some people prefer not to go down this avenue. Carriage charges can push online prices up a bit and there can be a problem with somebody being available to receive the goods. Some people like the convenience of having a physical store there in case of problems having read of horror stories in trying to get credit for faulty goods. A further point is that some people are a bit dubious about buying goods with a 3 year warranty online just in case the online store ceases to exist within that period. I nearly always buy online myself but many don't, hence the success of places like PC World.
