The way it works at Borders is I go nd check if the item is in stock and the system says it is. The I reserve it and someone in the store then goes to find it and I get an email say if it's on hold for me or not. Then if it is, I go get it.

Best Buy has a similar setup except if the system says it's available and I try to reserve it and it's not really there, I can then order it online with free shipping if I want.
