Comparing Local & Online Offers

Sometimes the best price is available at a nearby store.

Other times, ordering online may be the better option.

BrickSeek Product Pages make it easy to compare available purchasing options so you can decide what works best for your budget, schedule, and shopping preferences.

Local Offers

Local Offers display pricing and availability for stores near you.

Depending on the retailer, you may see:

• Current price
• Store location
• Inventory information
• Additional store details

Local Offers are especially helpful when you're looking for clearance deals or need an item immediately.

‍

Online Offers

Online Offers display products that are available through supported retailer websites.

Shopping online may be a good choice when:

• A local store doesn't have inventory.
• The online price is more attractive.
• You prefer shipping or delivery.
• Visiting a store isn't convenient.

Compare Before You Buy

Whenever both Local and Online Offers are available, take a moment to compare them.

Consider things like:

• Price
• Availability
• Travel time
• Shipping options
• Convenience

The lowest price isn't always the best overall value for every situation.

Which Option Should You Choose?

There isn't a single right answer.

Many BrickSeek members:

• Buy locally when a clearance deal is available.
• Purchase online when inventory is limited.
• Compare both before making a decision.

BrickSeek gives you the information—you decide which option makes the most sense.
