I buy most of my electronics online for the past bunch of years but buy a few things here and there from local stores also.
Over the years electronic stores have been closing their brick & mortar store doors. Circut city and a couple other names I can’t remember off hand. Best Buy is closing their stores around here one by one over the last five or so years.
I bought a cell phone screen protector through Best Buy and is life time warranty if I break it. I broke it this weekend and it’s the second one on this phone. Best Buy store I bought it from is closed and gone. Drive 30-40 min to the last Best Buy around my area to get it replaced. It was a bit of an ordeal since the store I got it from is closed but moving forward with it. Out of stock come back another day. Stopped at a cell phone store figuring fawk it and just buy one, $50 nope. I’ll wait for replacement to come in.
^ that ordeal made me think about how on line stores are causing brick & mortar stores to close up. There’s something to be said about checking out items at a store and buying it in the spot. I’m just as guilty as other people buying mostly on line. My big screen tv, laptop and camera we’re all on line purchases.
