Are you sure about that? The Sears mailorder pickup location near here just closed down within the last 5 years. The town I used to live in had a Sears mail order pickup location that was still open at least 10 years ago.

I’m not sure what the pickup location you’re referencing would have been for. And if you’re picking it up from a store, that’s not exactly a ship to home service anyway.
