The only risk involved with online buying is that you may have to pay return postage if you decide you simply don't like the goods. If, like me, you live dozens of miles away from a good selection of shops, which will in any case cost a fortune in petrol to reach, and whose goods may be a lot more expensive than if bought elsewhere online, you often decide that it's a risk worth taking. Most of the big towns in my area are at least fifty miles away from Bude, and without exception they do not have an adequate choice of music shops. Shopping around could involve several day trips and hundreds of miles. Viva online!
