I.d buy your gear from
Sonic Electronix if you have to buy online. I bought heaps from them and i'm in Australia. Good price and quick shipping. My local store has not done me many favours after the countless installs i did for them and they gopt rid of the installer (also) a friend of mine so i dont go there anymore.
As for "THE CANAAN", Bagging people that buy mainstream brands and calling the stores that sell them (be'it online or not) names for stocking these brands is pretty childish. My brother has a bike store here in Australia in a town with 9000 people and is moving more stock and making more dollars than the three shops 100kms away in a city with 160,000. How does he do this? Service..... He'll do whatever it takes to get a customer, won't EVER bag out another store and will go out of his way to make sure the customer is happy. He also has built up one of the lightest (known of) in Australia full size road bikes which gets him noticed and respected and makes people skip their local shops in Perth (200kms away) and go to him as he knows what he's talking about rather than just moving boxes. Can they buy cheaper online? YES. Do they, Not a hope in hell......
I think you need to get over the fact that the internet has less overheads and people are going to buy cheaper from them and need to focus more on "Why should people come to you" without using bullsh!t like "alpine are a mainstream brand so they're crap" to make them like you. If you can't see this then maybe you deserve to be shutdown.
Sorry to sound harsh, but your business is only as good as you make it......
