Whoa, no need to get your undies in a bunch.
A) I always bought direct from Merck and it doesn't seem to have made
a difference. Though they seem to be closing down for different
reasons (moving on).
B) I be po' now and I need to shave dollars off wherever I can.
Perhaps I should just download it, what do you think?
Forgive me for trying to add some requested information to the list.
That said, I agree - it's probably best (if you can) to purchase
directly from labels, if the label budgets itself as a direct-selling
label. I say that because I've heard a couple of label heads say
it's better to buy from stores because it creates a demand that
distributors see, so distributors are more willing to do business
with them.
