no use going out and visiting three or four stores finding a product that fit me.
I think you’re right on. The brick and mortar stores don’t have the variety that online does. I just bought a quality flashlight online. In the old days I would have gone to different stores and probably wouldn’t have found satisfaction.
Brick and mortar stores don’t have every model and type. They couldn’t afford to stock such a variety of products. Online stores are jammed with everything and anything a buyer might want and then deliver your order right to your door. No gas, no fuss, no parking, no security concerns and no trying to find help that isn’t available or doesn’t know their products.
Things have changed. Retail is just a bit late to the game.
I do ALL my shopping online now except groceries.
Brick stores seem to be clueless about online shopping. When I try to use websites of major stores to see if they have the item in stock to buy it is impossible. Time after time I find either the website says they have an item and they don’t or they will have items the website says are not in stock. By being so clueless they are losing more customers to online shopping.
