I see your point. Let me ask you this. Would you take a chance on a stacker you knew and developed a level of trust with from SN who had access to wholesale merchandise and featured a product or two every week or so? Keep in mind that these would be small purchases if you desired?
I think I would, but it also depends on how low the price (inclusive of shipping) is compared to fiat.
I'd also prefer bulk orders in that case, since I don't want to have to spend too much time managing the logistics of ordering.

yeah shipping is key that matter in this. Will be necessary to have sellers for each region, to lower the costs of delivery.
I will not order 100 TP from a seller delivering from US or China to Italy.
Buying from local stores is the best way. So for all these daily products we have to convince more local small shops to accept bitcoin. In my case was years and years of convincing work until I find 2-3 that can deliver to me anything I need and pay in BTC. So I sporadically buy online, only when I find something better or they cannot deliver in time.

The ideal situation, which is probably a long way off, would be for some of the stores carrying necessities in BCEs like Bitcoin Ekasi to be able to hook up with wholesalers who accepted bitcoin. They could completely cut fiat out of the supply chain, and offer these communities way more choice of products to improve their lives.
I'm thinking the stores you buy from in bitcoin are probably buying their inventory with fiat.
That was my response too when I asked myself this question. As it is we buy many items in bulk.
