I can't afford to pay a lot more for stuff from someone just because they're local. I will pay a little more, though. Especially if they offer better "service".
I was buying white gift boxes by the case from a local packaging store. I was happy with the service, paid a little more, and could get my stuff right away without any wait for shipping. I felt good supporting a local small business.
That changed when I asked for a different color box. They told me they wouldn't order any for me until I bought all the white ones.
Goodby local packaging store, hello internet packaging company.
