The off season is just long enough that I forget what a racket that place is. Needed 3 items for Spring commissioning and had a gift certificate so decided to use it up. After getting home I checked the corresponding prices at Defender for the exact same items. Neither store was having a sale.
3M Finesse it II - WM $39.99 vs Defender $23.99
3M Cleaner Wax - WM $36.99 vs Defender $24.99
Star Brite Black Streak Remover - WM $14.99 vs Defender $7.99
So the difference was $35 which doesn't even calculate in the scheme of a season, but the principle of it is just offensive. That's almost a 40% markup across the board. Took it all back to WM and ended up ordering from Defender and had it in 2 days. I don't mind paying an extra 15% to 20%, but it's really just absurd where they've gone with their pricing.
