Are there any drawbacks to buying bird seed online?

The one drawback to buying bird seed online is that shipping costs are often very much tied to weight, and bird seed can get heavy. Joy recommends purchasing in bulk to keep the shipping costs low. And, if you are not in a hurry, monitor the Pet Food Direct website as they sometimes have promotions where they wave the shipping charges or offer 15% off the price (look for a promotional code at the top of this page).
