You do order everything so if you want immediate gratification then pay for it at the stores. They have local policies for resolving customer service challenges. Prices are less than retail sales prices in most circumstances especially on furniture, plumbing products, flooring and cabinets. Not as much savings on cheap electronics or appliances. I had a price complaint on an $1100 Toshiba TV and a week later after speaking with the manufacturer my center gave me an additional $130 discount to beat an internet price by 10%.
Pros: Customer Service Policy. Pricing Policy. National Support.
Cons: No immediate gratification.
