You get 10 to 20 times the selection online, find what you want in minutes, read what other buyers think of the product, get next-day delivery, better prices, and no going store-to-store-to-store for hours trying to find what you want. So many stores have cut inventory and the stock on shelves is pretty thin, so it’s hardly worth the trouble.
