I only order online when a LQS runs out of a fabric I need more of. I have never purchased a kit because I generally do not like some of the fabrics they choose and if there's a cutting error, many times they don't have the fabric in stock. I also can't see true colors online or feel the quality of the fabric so the few times I've ordered online, I've been disappointed. JoAnn Fabric's quilting cottons aren't the quality that I get the our LQS...you get what you pay for. I will continue to shop at our 5 LQS in our area and love everyone of them! When I do shop online for a fabric that I've run out of there is no or very little savings when shipping is added in. The online stores charge almost the same amount you pay for quality fabrics at the LQS. Now if you're satisfied with poor quality fabric then shop online please because I don't my LQS to start carrying and catering to those who are purchasing cheaper lines of fabric or to compete with JoAnns.
