I’m in the US at the moment, road tripping around, never quite sure where I’ll be, even a few days out. Hence why It’s easier to buy local, than via any online store.
But searching for products in the local area / at local stores is nearly impossible.
Using google is useless, everything is e-commerce listings.
And even if you search many local stores directly they make it nearly impossible to determine if the products are actually in stock/in store vs part of their ecommerce offering / available in store in 3-5 days.
Does anyone know any decent options?
- DoreenMichele 8y agoWalmart's website will tell you if it's available in their local store. You can also order online and pick up at the store without a delivery fee. You can also return or exchange items at a different Walmart if you keep your receipt.
- RileyJames 8y agoActually that’s cool, in the US they have these features. The Canadian Wal-Mart website was impossible in this regard, but in the US you can search only in store, today and within xx miles. Appreciate it.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoHome Depot and Target support this as well (Home Depot will even tell you the aisle and bin the item is in from their mobile app). Target inventory can be delayed up to 24 hours, so call ahead in case the quantity shown in store is low single digits.
- anitil 8y agoI suppose people just don't want you to know, so you're forced to browse? At one point I considered doing this as a business - paying people to walk through the store recording video that's then used to fill out a catalogue. Maybe offer it as a service to businesses.
