Online shopping is much cehaper for the retailer. All they need is a few bods to pick the stuff from the warehouse shelves, virtually everything else is automated. Even the premises needed are vastly cheaper, a warehouse on an industrial estate will need far less rent than a high street shop.

Remember in a shop you are paying for the customer service. Ok, that can be variable from appalling, indifferent through to excellent. In theory though you can ask for advice and all sorts. You just can't do that online.
