I think in store purchases can be good for certain things while for other items it doesn't matter!I like to get a lot of wooden things in store like for example grape branches and cork flats,but for someone who doesn't mind a surprise in terms of what the piece actually looks like it can be fun
A lot of items wouldn't matter though like items which are always exactly the same and have no real variation,so those sorts of things can definitely be ordered online without it mattering much for anyone.
