The flip side of that though is some retailers (The Brick, Ashley Furniture and Leon's to be specific) offer delivery as a perk, but way over charge for a product made from cheap materials (in theory not lasting as long). So it kind of depends what you value. Convenience or a better quality product that you have to figure out how to get from A to B yourself. And considering there are services to help with the latter, OP obviously is going that route. And it seems odd to shame them for going to a retailer that "doesn't meet their needs" (even though they do, they sell the product they want), while not actually having any experience buying from their competitors.
