I used to have a very low opinion of Best Buy but I’ve recently found myself going there for the majority of electronics I buy...no shipping or filtering through counterfeits like on Amazon, and there’s one that’s open 24/7 within walking distance of my office in NYC. Employees are friendly and helpful if not extraordinarily knowledgeable. Hard to beat on the convenience front.

There are some things I just try to buy local... laptops and displays (TV/Monitors). In the end, if you get a bad one, it's usually apparent within a day or two, and it's far easier to deal with in a store. I think I just have bad luck with TVs and Monitors though. Despite doing research, about half the time I order either via Amazon/Delivery, I regret it (last time 42" 4K monitor was DOA).

Almost everything else, I tend to favor Amazon though. But I find myself looking locally more and more.

Best Buy refused to price match Phillips Hue bulbs for me because they were apparently a "prime" only price.

Made no sense for me to pay more ($20 across 4 bulbs) to get them that day in person.
