Very good point. I can purchase most any brand name, full synthetic motor oil at places like Wal-Mart, Tractor Supply, along with dozens of outlet stores, heavily discounted. It's called competition. I'm not going to pay upward of $30 for a 5 quart jug at one place, if I can buy the exact same oil at Wal-Mart for $22. Amsoil with their Internet marketing assures high prices, and that you will get the least bang for your buck. Count me out.
And home delivery is NOT that convenient. In fact it's more of a PITA. Think about it. You have to schedule your life around the delivery, making sure you are home when it comes. If you're not, it can easily disappear. Even if you're retired, like I am, I've got better things to do than wait for a delivery man. If you're single and working, forget it. Most of what I end up ordering on line are things I cannot simply go out and buy at a store close by. So if I want them, I've got no choice but to order them. If they're a small item that can be shipped USPS to the mailbox, it's no big deal. But a big, heavy box of motor oil certainly does not fit into that category.
