Buy UPS: About 40% of their deliveries are from Amazon.

But really, why go to a specific store, when EVERYTHING in every store you go has the same exact copies of the same Chinese-made junk at all just about the same price?

#1,2,4 & 7 can kiss my butt. Not sorry to see them go.

That’s part of the 0bama recovery, yo. Good thing Democrats haven’t learned the term “creative destruction” that’s been used to describe capitalism. That’s all we’d have heard for the last 5 years.

Guilty! I shop until the postman drops at Amazon.com.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV) Guilty

Radio shack has been going down hill for years it used to be a place to actually get parts for radios or a larger selection of electronic parts for hobbyist like myself but now its just a phone and toy store.

ATTN: RadioShack CEO

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS

CHANGE THE STUPID NAME!

When I hear radioshack that’s exactly what I think of. A shack filled with spare parts and nothing else. It doesn’t make we want to go there to buy electronics.

I thought Aeropostale was doing OK - their clothes are generally well made and decently priced (unlike A&F’s Hollister crap).

Doesn’t effect me at all. The only store on the list that I’ve actually shopped in the past DECADE is B&N - and only because a good friend gives me a $25 B&N Gift Card for my birthday each year. I buy a book I want to read, read it, then sell it on Amazon for at least half of it’s retail value.

But, I’m cheap. The only thing I buy new are undergarments and socks and shoes.

And, FWIW, I spent $20 at Goodwill today and that bought me enough books to take me through the next 6 months. Adult books of any kind - $1.49 a pop! Life. Is. Good...when you know where to shop.

Movies and CDs? My Library. My Tax Dollars At Work! :)

Early last year, Barnes & Noble announced plans to shut a third of its stores over the next 10 years. As of this January, the company had already closed some 14 retail locations, dropping its store count to 663 from the 677 it had when the announcement was first made.

Once Radio Shack started leaving behind the electronics hobbyist, it just wasn’t the same anymore.

[Rockpile]

Why didn’t these writers mention one of the most important reasons for store closings? THEY OPENED TOO DAMN MANY STORES!

It is probably a big ego rush for CEOs and board members to expand, expand, expand.
