Limited choices, often use other sellers where you get hammered on shipping, or they have the item at a higher price. Good example is the Z30/33 chain. Niagara sells them for $4.57 each, Amazon wants $7.10 each. I tend to buy several at once, so the price difference really adds up. Jensen price matches pretty much everyone, and has a $50 minimum for free shipping. Pretty easy to hit that mark. Niagara's free shipping is $100.
