Buying PC Parts Online or Offline?

[Nova]

I have moved from a small city to a big city now and most of the things that I get are from online shops. And I avoid the local shops for many reasons. I think these days with the possibility of the return, it's not bad to order from online. 

So do you order PC Parts from online or from local shops?

I basically have no local shops.  We have a Best Buy and there PC components section is maybe 5 feet long at best.  Basically, you get 1-2 CPUs, 1-2 GPUs, a single cooler, and a rack with little stuff like RAM and Storage as options.  So for me, it is completely online.

I love our kind of local Micro Center! I don't buy much in terms of PC parts at all but I do buy a lot of other stuff there.

We only order online because all we have a is a Walmart nearby. Amazon is generally cheaper for some things that we want and we don't have to waste gas driving all over searching for the item we need. We live in the country, so every drive is about 30 minutes and 45 to the mall. As much as I'd love to support local, they have to raise their prices very high to make up for their rent, so things aren't really affordable anyway.
