So I've been wanting to go get Star Wars Raise of Skywalker since it's been released. So I have a Best Buy account and went online to have it shipped and they are doing Curb side pickups which take about an hour to complete.
Thats cool Now I can watch this damn movies and learn about the volume drop. I'm real curious about this issue.

    Had to get a new microwave last week, and the curbside pickup was pretty smooth.

    Yes Very smooth. After my online purchase which I had a $10.00 reward coupon, I got it for $21.19 and they emailed me within 20 minutes. I went to the Store they have a chained off space you pull in, give them your order number and they put it in your trunk. I have a Durango with a Electric lift gate so I didn't even have to get out. I opened the Lift gate, they put my movie in there and then I closed it without even getting up. I spend about 45 seconds there and away I went.

    I MUCH rather go inside and shop like in the old days, but if you know exactly what you want and this service is still available it would save a lot of time. Sure shipping would even be better in some cases but if you want IT NOW then this would be a cool service to continue after the MADNESS.

    You guys are lucky. They offered curbside for what was a very short time. Now all the Best Buys on Long Island are closed :(
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Bought a new laptop from Canada computers and did the curbside pickup. Makes sense.

    Dicks sporting goods as well is doing this. We purchased a 200+ lb ping pong table for the kids last week. The boys brought it out and loaded it up. Absolutely no contact with us, but it would seem they were working too close to one another.

    You will love it. You can sit in your sweet spot, listen to the stereo, and read/reply to audio forums. I have an iPod Mini, and the only issue I have is I can only type with one finger, but a benefit is it keeps replies short.
