I was thinking about a new water pump so I went to NAPA Online and saw one for $56. Wanting to give my business to the local store, I drove there and the guy said there was one in Texas he could get and it would be $97. The $41 difference was a bit too much for local loyalty so I went back to get it online. The lower price was for a "NAPA Online Promotion."

I put the pump in my online Cart and proceeded to Checkout. I was surprised when I wasn't asked for a credit card. They instead said they'd notify my local NAPA store which they already knew, of course.

A guy from the NAPA store called to verify the order and I explained the situation.

Now I read on the email Order Confirmation that "Prices may vary from store to store and online" in very small print and light gray font. I don't know what the price will actually be but at least I have paid for anything yet.

Has anyone ordered from NAPA Online? Will this turn out as a "bait and switch?"
