Maybe, But its a direct competitor of an LBS and what you are looking at it is that even mega bike corp can just about turn a profit on all of the business they do on both bricks and mortar and online.
So we come back to the question of "Why does my LBS charge £15 for a shitty little job"
Answer: Because they have to, because there is no guarantee you will be back to spend the dollars needed to survive and the only work that might be coming through the door is another shitty bottom bracket removal.
