I walk into a Walmart and buy a thingamabob. I get to at least inspect the package for damage first, then pay for it and walk out in ~30 minutes or so.

I order something from an online source, I don't get to inspect the product first, I gotta wait a day or three or whatever, and there's no guarantee I won't have to send it back because of damage, wrong size, wrong color, whatever...

Tell me, which one is faster again?

Edit: You also got porch pirates out there...

Not to mention if you order dongle A for item B, it's your fault for entering it that way. For this reason alone, I like in person hardware store visits. In Asia we have a downsizing problem in that foreign workers man the aisles, so they generally don't know stuff, but there's usually an old guy around if you ask a bit.
