The "wrong" is when it makes the hobby less "fun". A fair part of what
makes it "fun" for me is to bargain hunt, and unrelated to cost is that its
LOTS of fun to open stuff up and see whats inside. Just ordering something
ruins both of those fun parts for me. YMMV

There are two kinds of shipping, one that messes up your stuff, and one
thats real expensive and still may mess up your stuff. Road trip is my
preference.
