      The risk when they grow to big is, they get in monopoly like situations. I dont think I have to explain why that is bad.
      Also at some point some companies have so much money, and therefore so much power, that they influence politics very dominately. Also bad.
      P.S.: Best Buy is not in a monopoly like situation, since they compete with amazon, which forces both companies to innovate or risk dying.

      Mom and Pop shops are all dead. Cant complete cause they dont have economy of scale. It is a supply chain and globalization problem as things are made and shipped from oversea. So manufacturers want to make and sell in bulk. Mom and pop stores cant do that. Unless they stop completing with each other and form an alliance and merge into a big box store themselves.

      They didn't have any problem. they had plenty of opportunity to take their massive catalog and beat Amazon, but instead stuck to their old ways. Sears right to the bitter end kept their old model, I bought a book shelf from Sears a month before they revealed they were trouble, it was on sale and it was like I was ordering a fridge from my a local electronics shop 1995, I had to go to a store, talk to a sales rep to find the bookshelf in a massive paper binder, wait 15 minutes for them to confirm it was in stock, wait another two - three days to be shipped to that location, and then pick it up at a 'central' location, even tho it was advertised in a goddamn flyer!
      But I can sort of see (or guessing) what you are getting at, Sears had troubles as soon as all the trust fund babies cashed in their inheritance and screwed the company.

      @@rxonmymind8362 Are you a financial analyst? Amazon is poised to take over vast swaths of the retail market. They already have. They're becoming the new Walmart. Even Walmart itself is threatened by Amazon. Their major risks do not include selling cheap products. Most of the time, Best Buy marks up similar products (mostly made in CN or VN) to cover their overhead. Similar gross margin per unit, much higher operating costs. You're not paying BB for a better product; you're paying for their customer service. If you know which phone case fits your phone, if you know how to select the right TV for your needs - you don't need BB. The main risk to Amazon is that they grow too big and lose focus or make poor acquisitions that increase DOL.

      Vladimir Horowitz understanding the needs of the custumer is custumer service.
      I agree custumer shouldn’t be burdened with advices and opinions but a simple “can i help you?” Can really do most brands some good.
      (Im from india and amazon has destroyed many small retail outlets here) the problem was that many shopkeepers didn’t knew how to respect the custumer. They would price their products outrageously high and were famous for rude behaviour.
      If a shopkeeper does these things and then cries about the competition talking all the sale then you don’t deserve to be in retail

      You guys have no brick and mortar competition , save WalMart, and likely never will have any formidable competition from a brick an mortar player. It’s the only thing that will keep you guys afloat. That and inevitable gov’t regulation. Amazon will face increased regulation every single year for the next decade plus - they won’t know what hit them. Amazon reminds me of MaBell, but Amazon will be broken up sooner than it took for Telcom to be dismantled.
      I heard scuttlebutt yesterday that Amazon is developing its own currency. Big mistake, too greedy.
      WY started to collect sales tax in WY a couple years ago, so I went front 100% Amazon to 50/50, often ordering from Best Buy’s website and having shipped or picking up.
      Now that Amazon lets me return an items to Kohl’s, no questions asked, I might go back to Amazon.
      I bought a jacket from Amazon, took the tags off, and found out they sent the wrong size. I got on Amazon app, spent 45 seconds setting up a return, was e-mailed a QR code. I took the jacket under my arm and the QR code on my cell phone to Kohl’s and was out the door in two minutes. BestBut can’t compete with Amazon’s return policy in my opinion.
      Amazon will soon have tens of thousands of kiosks an partnerships across the country that make returns an effortless process.
      The customer is ALWAYS right at Amazon, but not at Best Buy , IMO. And I’ve only returned 1% of the few hundred items I’ve purchased from Amazon, but their customer service and return policy is amazing an dit means a lot to me when I need it. Millions of others shop at Amazon for this very reason
      Another thing that hurts Best Buy is that Amazon is a one-stop shop. The are very few items or services that cannot be obtained from Amazon. Best Buy is electronics

Although Amazon offers warranties, I have heard it can be too vague to sometime enforce. My family bought a dryer at Best Buy and when it broke 6 years later, a technichian came and fixed it for free because we kept up with the warranty. After it broke down again, the technician said he would contact the company because they no longer made a the computer board which we needed to replace. Months later, we received a letter from the company paying us $1000 which was the original price and we had a paper trail with BestBuy and the technicians word that the dryer malfunctioned on its own. Just a tip for you guys who are planning on buying expensive appliances.

    I think what makes Best Buy different and so special to me is the "interior design" of their buildings. It's like every time I walk in it makes me want to explore and look around even if it's looking at things I don't intend to buy. The way the aisles are situated and spaced out makes an impression. I truly believe that the ergonomics of Best Buy play a part in the subconscious mind which makes people want to shop there. This is something Amazon can't duplicate because you can't walk around there, touch or look at their products in person.

    2) companies pay rent and premiums for shelf space and placement of product on specific location on shelf and in store.
    3) best margins on Best Buy in house brands : insignia,dynex and geek squad
    4) best in class warranty service and sales.
    5) price matching anything shipped and sold by amazon

      I don't trust them either. Too many fakes reviews, counterfeit products, garbage products, and SO MUCH F***ING WAITING. If I want a game that came out super recently, I want it now and don't want to wait 2 weeks for delivery. At Best buy or Walmart or GameStop I can have the game within the hour and be playing it that day. With Amazon, you're waiting at a minimum 2 weeks to play a new game.

    Best buy just gives you that old school good feeling of testing out what you buy and the employees are super helpful. My go to for every piece of tech and electronics. Instore or online
