Yes, if you are wealthy you can afford to have your groceries delivered
and if everything you buy is standardized and conventional you never
need to look at or try on anything before you buy it.

I'll be going down to the coop today to sort through their hardware to
find a match for a part I need to replace.  It will cost about three
dollars.  I suppose I could I could try to guess from the pictures what
on Amazon might fit.  In about three days I'd find out if the $10 I'd pay
for shipping got me anything that would work.

Shopping on the Web is cool but it's not quite there yet for many things.
