You can still 'go round' Currys, Dixons, Comet etc - you just do it at your pooter instead of burning up petrol. If you want to save delivery costs, you can even reserve stuff online then go and collect it.
As for eBay, I suppose you could always bid for a second hand fridge from Hong Kong

Take it to your local retailer, tell them you like to shop local if possible, if they match the price and deliver for you you'll buy from them. More often than not you'll get a deal, especially if its not even in stock. They order from their supplier and ask them to deliver direct to your address. You pay retailer, retailer pays supplier, retailer makes a profit without even handling goods. Even if it's a small profit it's better than none for them and risk free to boot.

If I research it on line I buy it on line, if I want to see it first I go to a retailer and I will buy it from them. I support whoever it is who is providing the service I want.Then use that as a basis for the model you want and do further Google shopping searches.

My daughter has to watch the pennies and she needed something for the baby. Argos were offering the item at £23.99 and a shop less than 200 yards away had the same item at £25.99. Following dad's example she asked the retailer to match the Argos price and got a very short shift in reply. Needleass to say she bought from Argos and I don't see her ever going back to the local shop again.
I wanted a memory upgrade for a webbook and offered to buy from a local computer shop but he couldn't even buy it in for the online price. If he'd been able to match the price I'd have bought from him.
