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.
I dont.
They ramp up prices, scam their customers, and abuse their underpaid employeea.
Employment lol
Honestly started buying more from them. Amazon might just as well send you a counterfeit.
I just love how they try to trick you into paying for shipping even if they’re like “Congratulations! Your order qualifies for free shipping!”
Dude that’s gotten me to not place several Amazon orders lately. Pick items with free shipping that arrive on the same day, go to checkout, 1 of the items is set to not ship with the rest and charge me despite clearly saying free shipping. I’ll reload my cart and now that item will be included and a different item will be the one getting a shipping charge! If you reload enough eventually it will fix, but the second time I ram into that glitch I just said fuck this and drove to the store instead. Amazon can fuck themselves
This is a big one. I don’t trust Amazon anywhere near as much as I used to.
I have used them for Appliances in the past. But I now use the hardware store for that.
I went in there just yesterday for the first time in a year to look at laptops before deciding which to get based on actual weight and size. For whatever reason my brain does not work converting weight or size from text. I just can’t picture it or conceptualize it.
