Im trying to decide what the "local" impact really is? HD prob got it from the same place as Amazon, right? Prob came from China on the same boat. Im not visiting the store, so Im not making a worker there "work" for the sale. They are both being delivered, so the delivery guys get paid, be it from one place or the other.
When buying an appliance I wouldn't worry too much about the "BUY LOCAL" rhetoric. There's one "local" non-chain appliance store in my area and I seriously doubt the fat cat that actually owns the appliance store lives in my community anyway. The sales guy working at Home Depot works just as hard as the sales guy at the local store. Same goes for the warehouse and delivery guys.
