Forgot you could actually buy stuff in person

[kdonnel]

My wife was looking at buying a kindle before our vacation. Before dinner it could be delivered Tuesday. After dinner when she went to place the order it wouldn’t arrive until after we left on Wednesday.

She was disappointed.

Then an hour later she found we could just get in the car and buy it from three different nearby Best Buy.

Placed an order for pickup tomorrow.

We had both totally forgot there are stores where you can buy electronic stuff and everything doesn’t have to be delivered by an Amazon truck.

I might need an intervention.

I did that not too long ago as well. Went on Amazon looking for something and it was going to be a week or so before it would arrive. Didn’t even dawn on me it was something I could just go to Walmart to pick up until later

And you don't have to use a credit card or payment service, you can pay cash! LOL>

That's true....for now at least. I hope it stays that way.

Done that. I often forget Best Buy exists.

electronics are something we almost entirely buy locally vs. Amazon with the exception of the odd cable or connector. I like to have a little hands on time with an item or view it in operation before buying. we had a very positive in the last year when we needed to replace a television. had passed by the local 'video only' many times and decided to give it a look-see. WOW, it felt like we were transported back in time to when sales staff knew the products inside out and upside down. very patiently showing us different models/answering our question/addressing our specific needs. sooooooooooooooo much better than the other electronics place where you are simply pointed in the direction of the display models.
