Have you notice some items from best buy website have a price cheaper than you actually buy it from best buy actual store? My cousin browse the website, and did make some purchases from best buy, and tell me all about these. And he actually compare the very same item from the nearby best buy store. Probably the in - store items associate with the site rental and personnel administering cost with it, that is why the online item usually cheaper. Base on my assumption. What do you think of it?

yeah probably, but whenever i order online, i usually spend a lot on the shipping fee.... so it still turns out to be a better option for me to buy in the nearby malls.... but it's fun doing online shopping too

Yeah, the shipping cost also one of my consideration too. I guess some people unwilling to pay for the high cost of shipping too. But still, you can order online, and pick it up from the store, would that be work?

yes that would work, in fact some online stores do offer that, they send someone ( a messenger person) to meet up with you in a mall or some place safe, they hand you the goods and you pay with cash. still very convenient. but in my case, i don't live in the main city anymore so my only option is door-to-door delivery.... but i still get some goods from that favorite online store of mine whenever i have extra money . because her products are good and fairly priced.

Yes, this is definitely true. I buy a lot of stuff on Ebay especially and this really is very much cheaper than buying stuff in regular stores. I am sure there are other online stores that are very cheap too, but Ebay really is the cheapest!
