Online catalog

Maybe that's partially true if they were a small regional or mom and pop then sure. They have an economy of scale. They could seriously compete with those others retailers. I like CW and I like going to their stores, but come on that's a bit out there.

Because of Amazon's size and shipping contracts. Shipping is all they do. CW does not depend on on line sales and shipping as a primary means of business; therefore with less shipping and no really desire to compete with Amazon, CW maintains retail stores, RV dealerships, and insurance agency business as thier primary source of income. If the customer wants to purchase from CW online they will have to pay the higher noncompetive prices.
CW is a minor player to the shipping companies, as compared to Amazon and others, therefore because of lower volume CW is not given the primo shipping rates.
That's my opinion. Basically CW is not dependent on online orders to maintain thier bottom line. If you want the online catalog service you will pay for it.

How come I can order something from amazon similar size to that pay 2.99 shipping and have it here in 3 days?

I don't know how anyone could think that is a reasonable shipping fee. I paid less than that to 2 day a furnace blower motor. I wouldn't drive anywhere beyond 20 miles for a 5 dollar game and yes it would be less than the shipping cost.

For that kind of money, USPS flat rate would have it there in 3 days.

I honestly don't know how these companies can offer 'free shipping' on anything. Ever UPS something yourself?
