Not always the cheapest option. Sometimes there are better deals to be had locally too.
I always recommend buying skates locally not only because baking and the initial sharpening are included in the price but if you have fit issues after a few skates you can bring them back to get them tweaked. Overall it may cost you more to buy a pair of skates online and bring them into your local shop for a bake and first time sharpening; and this isn't including the time and gas it takes you to go down to the States to pick it up and any extra duties/taxes you may incur.
You may also run into complications with warranty returns since most are done through the store and not the manufacturer directly.
