Best Buy offers UPS Store pickup now I guess

[pete6032]

I don't shop at Best Buy very often but they currently have a good deal on a computer monitor. I checked to see if it was in stock at any stores near me (have 8+ stores within an hour drive) and most of the nearby stores had no stock, only order online and pick up in store a week later. That's when I began clicking through alternative pickup options and the UPS Store less than a mile from me popped up. I could buy the monitor today and pick it up at a UPS Store two days later. How this is only 2 days versus a week or longer from an actual Best Buy store I do not understand. I know I will have to stand in line at UPS but seems better than waiting a week to go to an actual Best Buy store.

I know what you mean. Got a busted cat food can in the box from shipping and the raccoons tore up my package during the night. They gave up before success but the ants didn't.
