Some on-line vendors have very reasonable shipping (Fabric Shack ships for $3, or for bigger orders, $6); I don't think it's always the case that on-line prices are lower. For me, the main attractions of on-line fabric shopping are the ones you mentioned -- convenience, and you are not limited to choosing from the fabrics a single store has chosen to stock.
