That does seem to be their MO, which is pretty typical for brick-and- 
mortar stores these days...

"We're not the cheapest, but we have it in stock, and you won't have  
to wait for it to be shipped to you."  If you find it online, and add  
shipping, it's rare to see much of a difference in the TOTAL price...   
especially on "commodity" type batteries.

Get into laptop batteries though, and they're all different... no  
standards... things get "weird" then, just as the engineers planned.   
(GRIN)

I get a kick out of hunting eBay for local sales that do silly stuff  
like price a typically $35 product at $5 with $39.95 shipping... and  
then sending them a note, "Will you allow local pick-up?"  I'm a  
bastard that way.

Sometimes they count it as one of the "risks" of how their silly  
scheme works, and they WILL let you stop by... other times they make  
claims like, "too difficult", "no time", etc.  LOL!
