Sometimes e-commerce sucks! I tend to purchase big ticket items directly from the store.
Good strategy but ecommerce killed a lot of specialized retail
Except photography stores. Seriously, I would never purchase anything online, when Henry's and Don's photo both exist and are good stores, with good employees, and decent pricing. I've cross shopped enough products across multiple different brands (Nikon and Sony plus third party lenses). She paid $2,577 Canadian for a damaged box, here's in stock at Henry's that she could've went to instead for $2,499. https://www.henrys.com/canon-ef-24-70mm-f-2-8l-ii-usm-lens/5637213502.p?srsltid=AfmBOoowGeWSjMZe6ZYOlW8DLhpdbxkoVBE8NHJcGlBpYH9Dqq7nCYF_&color=Black&size=Canon+EF&style=New I get it would've been more with taxes, but I think my point stands.
I'm getting tired of the same logic that online is cheaper, I don't think that's been true for years.
Online is sometimes cheaper and sometimes not. I always check online vs local store, because I'd rather support local when possible.
