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.

    Buying electronics and getting them right then and there instead of waiting for delivery. Or at the very least, using them to demo products I am interested in even if I ultimately buy them elsewhere (usually cuz it’s cheaper).

    Last time I was there was for headphones. I was looking around online but nothing really looked right, and I also am not sure about the ear cup sizes and wanted to make sure they went around my ears and not on them. Can’t demo shit online, and most of the things in my price range were no-name garbage with dubiously high reviews. But I found some of the best headphones I’ve ever had going to Best Buy and checking out all the different products they have on display to be tried out.
