I pretty much by everything, but for groceries, online. Really no point in going to the store. Can’t say I’m surprised.

As people realize how easy it is to shop online for just about anything, we will see more and more of these retail stores closing.

I now buy most of my clothes online. If they don't fit right, they let you ship it back to them free of charge and they ship a different size. But that happens less and less often and now some websites take your measurements and sent you clothes perfectly fitted for you.

My son bought a laptop online recently, picked the specs he wanted, and one was custom built for him. Then he was able to track it all the way from the factory in China (not that they make any laptops here in USA).

Going to retail stores is more and more of a hassle. I spent 20 minutes in a Home Depot trying to find a garage door remote. The two workers I asked gave me aisle numbers that didn't pan out. Finally found them by the light switches.

Went to a Staples not too long ago and it was completely empty. Not surprised they are closing 225 stores. Just about everything there is cheaper online.

If shipping is free, I, too, prefer online. Amazon sells almost everything so …
