Because of the recent constant raining I called a local dog wash to wash my dog. The person involved noticed my dogs had a few fleas and told me of a fast-acting flea treatment – a six-month treatment that cost about $70.
It was cheaper online – $57, with free postage. I was willing to pay $70 to finish the job, so I drove eight kilometres to a local pet shop, asking for said product. It was $93. I declined to buy, instead buying a $25 bed that was on my list. I drove eight kilometres home, jumped online and bought the flea treatment straight away. If the product had been $70 in the shop I would have bought it, plus my $25 dog bed, no hesitation. But could you convince me to walk back into that store? My online purchase was from Melbourne.
