We purchased all of our plumbing fixtures and faucets for our masterbath reno from a local plumbing supply store. As commercial property owners, we did have an advantage of a contractors' discount but on a couple of occasions, including for our Runtal Solea towel warmer, I asked and they agreed to match a lower price that I found on the internet. I personally feel ok about asking them if they are willing to match prices. Our rule of thumb is that if the local brick & mortar's price is within about 10%, we'll buy from them, particularly if I have shopped there for the item or received customer service prior to the purchase. Having said that, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a towel warmer via the internet as long as it was a trusted vendor with a reasonable return policy. Keep an eye on the shipping charges, if any, because towel warmers are pretty heavy!

We (almost) have to as I live on a small island in the Caribbean where I found today, only one on island company that will order, ship and install and the quote today for my frameless glass shower door - 12" fixed panel, 36" door (total 48" wide) and 72" high was $3400 plus installation !!!!

What a gorgeous kitty and how lucky she was to have such a nice long life with you. For big rugs I tend to buy at Pottery Barn because they are expensive and I like that I can take them back in case I don't like them. PB rugs are hit or miss in my experience - 50% have been fantastic and worn great and the other 50% had a weird extreme shedding problem and I return them. For smaller rugs that are less expensive, I have ordered a jute rug from Ballard (love and simple for color selection) and woven one from Garnet Hill (also love and it was pretty simple and grey). I have almost ordered a 3x5 just to see color when I was considering a larger rug from an online store - with the intention that I would either stick it somewhere or return it if the shipping was not too much. At least I would be more confident of the color when ordering the larger rug. But I did not end up doing this. I have almost ordered several rugs from FLOR and love their sample program. (Writing this makes me realize that I have almost ordered a lot of rugs.. I must have commitment issues!)

What a beautiful ring! But, some comments... "set with seventy beautiful round brilliant cut sparkling white diamonds weighing 0.40 carat VS natural clarity and F natural color" There is no way that there are 70 diamonds that each weigh 0.40 carat. So, that has to be a TOTAL diamond weight of 0.40 carat. Seventy diamonds weighing a total of less than one-half carat means that they are, essentially, diamond chips. Although the photo makes it appear that the diamonds are each fully cut, there is simply no way that the diamonds in the ring you'd receive would be fully cut diamonds. (And a ring that contains 70 diamonds that are each 0.40 carat in size would be one HUGE ring.) An "F" color diamond is considered colorless, which is good. The very best color rating for a diamond is "D." The clarity of the diamonds are rated as VS - meaning they are Very Slightly flawed. But, the write-up doesn't say if they are VS1 or VS2, so I'm guessing they may be VS2. The clarity ratings go (from best to worst) as follows: Flawless, Internally Flawless, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, I1, I2, and I3. The write-up doesn't say how many sapphires are in the ring. It just says, "set with beautiful princess natural blue sapphire of 1.00 carat." So, again, that's a total carat weight of 1 carat, but you can see 11 stones (and you know there are more than that), so they would each be very small, too. I think the ring would be a stunning wedding band, but I agree with everyone who has advised you to go to a reputable local jeweler to see about having one custom made for you.
