Here are a few considerations:
1. Does the store carry inventory in its own warehouses so it can control the speed of your processing or shipment, or do they simply blind drop ship, hoping that their supplier has inventory when they need it, leaving you hanging for weeks while you await your order. This doesn't seem like a big deal, however it is estimated that over 42% of shipments that drop ship from a third party niche website do not arrive within the expected delivery period.
2. Does the store provide knowledgeable assistance on the product you are interested in buying, or do they sell 1,000s of products hoping you have what you need to make a decision?
