Another reason brick and mortar stores are still viable for buying accessories

This topic was discussed before about the differences between shopping for footwear online vs walking into a store.   Nobody wants to deal with returns for many reasons and it’s not just all about wasting money.  Even if the online dealer that sold you the product has a good return policy and allows you to return the item, they still burned up money.   Many years ago there was a Cabela’s store that opened up in Pennsylvania and it was a really big deal.   It’s about an hour and half outside of Philadelphia but people drive for hours to get there.  The biggest reason they do is because they want to shop with their hands and not with a keyboard.  There are so many things you can’t explain very well just by showing a picture.  Youtube has been a big help for us to sell products but sometimes people still want to hold it.

So many gun shops and gunsmiths have been put out of business by much bigger dealers with fancy websites, but eventually there are still the same issues.  Not being able to explain something look through magpul sights before you buy them might mean having to return them if they don’t work for  you.  I’ve had issues with my Eotech sights and had to either return them or spend another $100 to buy new sights.   I opted for the lower profile LWRC rear sights so my Eotech magnifier would work.  There are many things to consider when buying AR15 accessories and it’s still nice to be able to look through it before you buy.
