It really frustrates me. I prefer browsing and experiencing the texture and colors in person rather than having someone shop for me. I enjoy the in-store vibe and would like to see all the options firsthand, yet I also want to save money. Is there a special in-store offer or hidden coupon that provides the same savings as the online pickup discount?
The discrepancy between in-store and online pickup prices is often a reflection of each channel’s role in the retailer’s overall strategy. Based on my experience, online pricing tends to be more flexible and competitive due to lower overheads and dynamic pricing strategies, which allow retailers to offer deeper discounts. Additionally, online promotions may be designed to drive traffic to digital platforms, encouraging customers to use the service. Consequently, while in-store shopping offers tactile engagement, it may not match the efficiency of online discount mechanisms.
hey i think its primarily about how costs are split. online orders get device efficiency + less staff cost, so they can push better bargains. in-store costs like staffing and ambience, kinda bump up prices. its just how their pricing works, not personal dissalow.
