My apologies for having to do this from googlegroups, where I can't
properly quote or see where it lands in the tree (I'm on someone else'
wifi, so don't get my nntp feed), but..

what everybody else said, except that WorstMarine will match anyone
else' price in most cases. In my case, they're very much closer to the
boat, and conveniently very near HD and Lowes, two other frequent
stops, so that's my preference, particularly on the boat.

My modus (it helps to chat up the store manager first so you don't have
to do this from scratch each time) is to find my pricing, on more than
one site, copy the URLs and the price from each of the several best,
circling the lowest, and print it out.

All they need is something to show the home office. Very significant
case in point is the two spools of 3/4 Maxibraid I bought for a bit
under a buck a foot, where list is 2.35, and "commissioning program"
prices saved me 10% on that. 303Protectant at 48/gal, instead of their
65, etc.

No shipping (but I had to pay tax), and if it's in stock, I walk out
with it. To get the rolls was an order deal, as was my large swim
platform, but it just came from the warehouse and that was it.

Hope that helps...
