Amazon also has no overhead of having stores to maintain. It make it easier for them to sell at a reduced prive. MP and LP pay full price for their merchandise at the park, an employee has to have an AP to get into the park regularly, then an employee has to prepare to ship the merchandise and pay for the associated costs of mailing and shipping. (I know a lot about one operation because I worked for the sister store.) Even at that, there is not a big profit involved in what they do.
Yes, smart people can look at the merchandise on MP or LP then call DeliverEars, but for them to advertise this fact would be the ruin of their business.
