Future Shop and Best Buy was practically the same store. Often, the stores would be located in the same shopping area. Obviously, many stores were redundant.

I bought my Galaxy Camera 2 at the Dundas Square FS. Otherwise, I used it for showrooming--then bought online for lower price.
Good riddance: staff were rude and always trying to upsell their useless warranty package.
Perhaps too many people visited Future Shop just to take a look around, then buy the product at a lower price online, which in other words, just "showrooming."
I've never had the experience where an item is cheaper online for electronics (or much else for that matter), especially when you add in Shipping and Handling which often bumps it up to what you're going to spend in-store anyway. I was genuinely surprised what so many shop for electronics online.
Many online retailers offer free shipping on total purchases over a certain amount. For example, Amazon offers free shipping when making orders over $20 before tax.I've never had the experience where an item is cheaper online for electronics (or much else for that matter), especially when you add in Shipping and Handling which often bumps it up to what you're going to spend in-store anyway.
