Absolutely! I find myself looking at items in-store to get an idea of what's available, then going home and comparing reviews & prices on amazon where there is more variety.
This is particularly true with what I've been buying lately--tools. The local home depot will just deal in a couple of brands for most tools, while amazon is virtually guaranteed to have dozens in all variety of size, power, options, price, and quality.
The price is usually better, as well, and then I don't have to load it into my vehicle, either. Poor UPS guy, though.
- nbakshi 10y agoI do that too, and with the Amazon App you can even scan the barcode of the product you are looking in the market to compare prices and look at reviews right there. Don't even have to go home for that.
- ryandrake 10y agoI find eBay a better source for tools, but both it and Amazon are head-and-shoulders better than Lowes and Home Depot if you don't need that tool right this minute. And if you do need it today and it can be used, Craigslist.
- mod 10y agoIn my area (poor, very rural), craigslist is too slow for that. I've been searching for a drill press for months, and I actually just hit one today. Assuming it's not sold out from under me by tomorrow, I'll have a new one in the evening. The last one I saw was sold within two hours of listing, and that was over a month ago.
