I can buy and.replace a tv within an hour if need be and I don't even have to put it back in the box ...lol....I'm really trying to understand the big incentive of buying the bulk of ones goods online. I guess if you lived out where there were not many stores. But people imo are being duped into believing that somehow sitting at home waiting for packages to arrive is somehow better. It really isn't overall. I said this in another thread....even Amazon sees the need for physical stores....hence the fact that they bought Whole foods......they found that people ordering fresh food online really doesn't work all that well ..

I live in a big city. I order a lot of things from Amazon and I buy other things from a physical store, if just depends on the product and how much of a hurry I'm in. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Amazon has done some interesting things with Whole Food. If you live within a certain distance of a Whole Food, you can order on line and have it delivered. You get a different selection that Amazon's normal online food delivery. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. I doubt that Amazon will put physical grocery stores out of business any time soon.
