Shopping around never seases to amaze me.

We sell on Amazon at higher prices than our own website. Amazon's fee's are extremely high. Many people are just used to buying there and don't shop around. (like my wife

)

Try this. In example, you are looking for a hotel, airline ticket or certain item. The longer you look or more places you look at the price goes up. Clear your cookies and browsing history and the prices will drop.

I have noticed that too, but forget to clear often enough.

I'm a tool freak.
Have been pricing some deWalt tools recently and actually found that my local hardware was $40-60 less and that with no shipping!
An I am talking of exact same part #'s with the handy case.
Unfortunately the internet will end up killing all those local stores as the 'big box' have almost accomplished.
Lon live the small local hardware store! I support mine as long as I can.

Seems this would be basically price fixing eliminating lower priced competition. So what else is new?

The mark up on filters is tremendous. I buy at NAPA, fleet discount is almost 50% and they are still making money. Never pay shelf/counter prices on heavily marked up stuff, lubricants are 45% at NAPA fleet.

How do you get fleet price?

Ask for it based on your fleet of farm/landscape/truck equipment and you do your own mechanic work. They also have a military discount; it is sometimes more than the fleet. Active, Reserve, Retired Military, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine. I am both categories and get the best of the two. Costs nothing to ask. I may be a local thing also, don't know. I shop there exclusively; if they do not have it they will get it somewhere else for you. One stop shopping.
