I have the same issue - if you want it the same day (or in less than 1-2 weeks in many cases), you have to get it in-store.
As a result I've come to find out that many retail stores (at least Walmart and Best Buy in California, Media Markt and Saturn in Austria) often list prices competitively with other online stores, but in-store prices are marked up considerably higher (in my cases ~15-30%). I almost walked out of a couple stores paying considerably more than the price I was expecting to pay, only at the cash register when they rang me up did I notice a discrepancy. On top of this, each store required verification by at least one manager, and in some cases I had to show them the price listed on their website on my phone (which incidentally gave me the idea to edit the values on their website with fake prices).
I suppose this is their sneaky way of trying to stay competitive with online retailers?
- BrandoElFollito 10y agoIf I remember correctly, Saturn and Media Markt have online purchase you can pick up at the store the same day? This is what I do with some purchases in France (Darty or Boulanger) - this gives me the extra advantage of online purchase protection (I can return the article in n days, n being 14 iirc), something you do not have in France for classical purchases (except if the store wants to)
