Question

pros and cons

Answer 1

not sure but i like to see what im buying.

Answer 2

I love on-line shopping! I can almost always find whatever I need, be it fishing gear, or hardware for a PC mod on-line, and get it shipped right to my door.

I always curse the local physical retail stores, because they seldom have what I need. I hate it almost to the point where I don't even want to waste time and fuel driving, just to leave dissapointed and empty handed.

I think it will force stores to downsize, keep smaller amounts of product on the shelves, and provide better customer service, for those people that actually stop into their store.

What is the point of hearing, "We can special order it for you.", when I can go home, hop on-line and do the same thing?

Not even the mighty Wal-mart can stock EVERY product in the world.
