Is Best Buy the single worst-run company in the history of the world?
-
When you live in a rural area. You are stuck if you need something now. Our choices here are Staples (which never has anything in stock), Office Max which is worse, Walmart or Best Buy. That's it. Unfortunately BB usually has what I need. But I always look elsewhere first. I have gotten some great deals through them a couple times but on things like monitors or cables, hard drives that kind of thing.
I order things from Amazon 99% of the time (seriously) the UPS or FED Ex guy are here every day of the week.

I don't really want to move to Panama...LOL
What about Australia?
Ummm, I think I'd go to Panama first...everything in Australia is trying to kill you! F*** that!
Having been to Australia about 20 years ago, I would go. Not everything is trying to kill you. While I spent most of the time along the coast - Sydney to Caines - it is a only really once you start to head to the bush that you 'need to worry'.
Besides,.. I love the accent.

That's because that's where their margins are
Amazon with a prime membership is probably the best thing ever.

There is Prime Pantry: $5/box for shipping and you fill up boxes with items. And there are coupons you can "clip" on items as well. I do it about once a month. It's awesome. Great for pantry staples etc.

Did you see some cities they have 2 hour shipping now?
-
That's pretty awesome!

I wish I lived somewhere that had that. Sometimes even the prime shipping doesn't get to me in 3 days.

I wish that I lived in a country with Amazon delivery

With the exception of how terrible the streaming library is. I mean don't even bundle it, keep it shipping only. If it included their Netflix for books service instead, that'd be something.

We love their streaming library. It's all bonus for free (the price didn't go up when they added it), the kids use it continuously.

Well, good for you. We've tried to find something, anything to watch probably 4 times and walked away shocked with its lack of options every time. Maybe they have better stuff in other countries.

They are US only. We can't use it at all when we are out of the US.
