Yeah I kept running into this exact issue and it was a big factor in my decision to cancel my Prime subscription after 10 years this winter. The research and product selection done by a more traditional retailer's purchasing department turns out to be more of a convenience than I would have thought in the past. Now that I've largely stopped shopping on Amazon over the past six months, I've come to realize that a lot of retailers have really upped their game in the in-store-inventory-online space. I really enjoy the process of browsing online, reading some reviews and knowing what's in stock in the store, then stopping by in person to check out a couple of options and walking away with the product in hand. Some big stores even have bay/bin/aisle numbers on their websites so you can find things quickly. Better than two day shipping in my book.
