That's a huge difference.

My nearest LHS is about 40 minutes away from me so 98% of my RC stuff is bought on-line. Makes it easy to shop for the best deals to stretch my RC dollar.

I buy 99% of my stuff online, since I'm too lazy to go to the LHS. They usually don't have what I want in stock anyways, so it has to be ordered. The only time I do go to the LHS is when I run out of fuel.
