I've moved (back) to buying higher priced electronics from places like Best Buy. The prices are usually the same anyway for the name brand stuff, and I'm less worried about fakes. Last week bought a new smart watch and headphones and they arrived 2 days after ordering.

BB has started using their retail stores as a distributed shipping system, so they ship packages from very close to you and have pretty good delivery times, as long as it's something carried in a store. Pretty smart move.

I think Target may be moving in that direction as well? They've started doing free 2-day shipping as well, I would not be surprised if that's how they're doing it. They seem like they're making a genuine attempt to compete with Amazon too.

The stores in our local mall do this as well. You can see the mailman carrying a trolely full of packages out of the mall every day.
