The difference is what while you're waiting to get your tracking number, I've already driven down the road and come back with the item I could've bought online, that I also purchased based on reviews and Youtube videos I watched the night before.
- peteforde 11mo agoThat hour + car + insurance + gas has a real cost. I genuinely despise Amazon as a company, but factually I can order something by 9pm and pick it up from my doorstep after I sleep in. I honestly don't think either approach is particularly great for the planet or our humanity, but Prime is popular for a good reason.
- NoPicklez 11mo agoI appreciate that and you're right. My point is to highlight for the original commenter that whilst buying online is incredibly useful, has more variety and in some a number of cases is cheaper due to being able to shop around. Having a central store like a Micro center has enormous value, there's not many of them around. For me in Australia, I certainly cannot order something at 9pm and have it at my doorstep in the morning. Nor do we have any places like Microcenter with such variety. Genuinely if I wanted to go into a store to check the size of a particular PC case, I can't do that because there aren't any around and I live in a state capital city.
