But I want it nowwwwwww.

But seriously, online shipping takes longer than driving over to the store and picking the thing up. It's not just being impatient, but sometimes eg your headphones break but you have an important meeting coming up soon.

The other one is, Amazon, especially, the pictures lie about the object's size after shipping. Especially for. a TVs. Sure you can use a measuring tape, but some people really do just want to see it in person to get a proper feel for how big something is.

Then there's laptops to try out how the keyboard does.

Laptop keyboards are another great example of a benefit to in-store shopping. Thanks!
