What do you use Best Buy/ Big Box Electromics Store for? (lemmy.ml)

What purposes do you use Best Buy/Big Box electronic stores? Do you try items before you buy them in-person or online? Do you shop in-store for products? Are you a purely online shopper? I make an effort to patronize small companies, but when it comes to electronics, I frequently buy reconditioned computers and other items from the Best Buy outlet since my experiences there have been positive. I used to regularly order from Tiger Direct, but unfortunately, it is no longer open for business.

Online is exclusively for things I can't find locally.

It's just faster. With a physical store, I can have my product in my hand just minutes after I decide to buy it. When I order online, I have to wait days.

There's an electronics store across the road from where I work, but even if I'm at home - it's only about 15 minutes drive away (depending on traffic).
