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.
Worst Buy isn’t the worst place to buy a TV. Or a phone. Their accidental damage policy is the best. They’ll replace the device, no questions asked, even if it’s your fault.
It isn’t the 2000s anymore. Competition is high enough from online retailers that big box stores can no longer afford to gouge if they want to stay in business.
