Apologies if this has been covered already, but for those who feel it unethical to browse in a B&M store and then buy online:
Do you feel the reverse is also unethical? If I use Amazon to check product specs and read reviews of various models of a product that I'm interested in, and then go to a local store to buy that product, am I also unethical?
I for one don't think so. I will do various amounts of research for most items where there's a lot of choice. Invariably that research will involve both online and offline resources. My final buying decision will depend on a variety of factors, price is one but convenience and customer service are two others.
Amazon often wins out, but not always. And when I walk out the door of a local B&M store with my new purchase, I don't feel like I've done something wrong just because I used Amazon resources to make my buying decision.
