Over the break I also discovered that Circuit City allows in-store pickup for Web purchases. Your order will be ready in 24 minutes or you get a $24 gift certificate. Pretty sweet deal. (This has probably been around for years, but I just found out about it. ) Anyway, talk about a time saver. I don't know how many hours I wasted going from store to store to try and find a particular network adapter, etc... Ugh!

Anyway, my experience with the new store in Thorton, CO store at I-25 and Hwy 7 has been great. Walk in, show your ID and credit card, walk out with your stuff. I picked up some power strips from the Westminster, CO store last night and had to wait while they 'got' my order. More like wait 10 minutes while they put it together. I may write to complain and see if I get my $24. More likely I just won't shop at that store again.

More retailers should be doing this (Barnes and Noble comes to mind). Pick it out, and pick it up, it's the future.
