Enlightening! Sales online where there were not sales at council shops!

When I became a Girl Scout Leader, I wanted to dress for the part. You know, gain the respect that comes with genuine certified GS clothing with logos and all that jazz. So I shopped online at the GS Online Store. - Pretty good, even a sale section. But I wanted to experience the shopping first hand at a council shop - BIG MISTAKE. Council carries only what is in the catalog (which is exactly what is online) and at the very same price. No, wait, there were some items on sale online but full price at the shop! (I paid $10 for a GS sweatshirt that was $22 at the shop. I paid 99cents online for a $5.75 belt at the shop.)
Shipping wasn't overpriced. It seemed fair.
I do have to admit that the quality of the sweats and polos was surprisingly, fair to low. They are lightweight and don't look like they'll last long. But the uniforms are made to last. My daughter has been wearing mine from when I was a Brownie 30 years ago!
Turnaround time: I ordered on the Monday before a Sunday Christmas, not expecting it to come until the new year, but it arrived on Thursday - three days after order and in the holiday season. I give them an A++ for turnaround time.
So, it depends on what you want, but I would go to the website for sure before I went to the GS shops at council.
