The opposite is true as well. A couple years ago I got an alert for a sale on Dualsenses and I pounced on it in the morning. I ordered it in the morning and was expecting to receive it within the next week or two. It arrived in LESS THAN 4 HOURS. I ordered it on my lunch hour and it arrived before I got off work.
I’m not sure if they used some other gig service like DoorDash or Uber Eats or if they just had some store employee deliver it? I don’t mind receiving things that quickly, but I certainly don’t want to force someone to piss in a jug to get me my dumb little consumer electronics faster.
It depends on your market but Bestbuy does partner with Instacart, Shipt, and other partners to do same-day, sometimes for free even. My personal funniest story was buying a friend a tv and her asking where did it come from, because a skinny teen in a small sedan just dropped it off on her porch (Walmart purchase).
