I've personally not made that experience since * if the item is expensive enough to be worth checking out physically, Amazon generally doesn't have it, since it's mostly full of Chinese copies and the genuine products are easier to ship from the manufacturers/smaller shops (since that's where Amazon actually has any margin) * if the item is cheap, I'll gladly pay the margin in the physical store, since I'll get some extra joy out of having it now-now, not "when it gets there"-Amazon-"now". I should note I am probably biased here from 3-7 days shipping times due to every Amazon order having to cross a border (into Switzerland).
