Along with them being able to ship the parts you want immediately in many cases they can offer you a far better price on the parts you need than your local store can. The reason for this being that they don't have the overhead costs that a traditional bricks and mortar business has. In many cases they will rely on drop shippers to send out the parts that a customer orders.

Another reason for purchasing your parts online is that along with the ones that the manufacturers of the equipment produce there are cheaper generic versions available.

By failing to purchase the relevant parts whilst under warranty still could invalidate your claim at a later date if the equipment fails completely.
