Very true, but there are less shipping costs built into the price if they get a truckload of glass from their supplier every day. Ordering a windshield from a parts catalog to deliver to your house might cost $40-50 in shipping...the cost of shipping one windshield of 20 or 30 in a truckload to a glass shop isn't nearly as much, that's all. It's like having a local auto parts store order a part for you vs. ordering it yourself from a web site or catalog -- the benefits of them having a huge order come in from their warehouse every day can save you money.
