Honestly, partnering with Amazon and basically giving you a product instantly would make brick and mortar thrive.
You want to buy this thing? If it's available at Best Buy, you can pick up within minutes at the counter and Amazon can ship a replacement to Best Buy in the next few days.
- sl1ck731 8y agoI wonder of retailers getting slightly different model numbers has anything to do with preventing this from ever being possible. I know they do it on black Friday to avoid price matching but I seem to run across wierd almost-exactly-the-same electronics at the local electronic stores more often than just black Friday.
- jon-wood 8y agoJohn Lewis in the UK do this all the time, mostly because they loudly promise to match the price on any product in their store. It just so happens that the product in their store is a shade of green which is exclusive to them.
- nightski 8y agoI can already do this with Best Buy, no Amazon necessary.
- heavyset_go 8y agoI already do this with Best Buy, with the added benefit of knowing that the product I'm buying isn't a cheap ripoff that was flipped from Alibaba.com, but fulfilled by Amazon.com.
- petra 8y agoBest buy currently buys stuff at wholesale prices. Amazon sells at retail prices. Not sure they can meet in the middle economically. Especially with Amazon closing in on stores, with in city distribution centers and pick up lockers.
