The Difference in Buying a Multi-Room Audio System from Retailer vs. Online

In today’s fast and growing world when it comes to shopping, every person wants a fast, quick and easy way to get his/her choice of things. The convenience of online shopping has attracted millions of people to buy their product from different e-commerce sites. With the increase in demand, plenty of e-retailers are hitting the mall.

The best thing about online shopping that you find what you need from a trusted retailer like Amazon or others, add it to your cart, give payment, and several days later the product sits on your doorstep. No matter what’s the location and weather-no need to drive all of this is just one click away from your home.

When you are buying a multi-room audio system online, you need to be more careful about the product. Despite several benefits of online shopping, there is a down-side to this seemingly perfect process. Have a look at some of these:

                                                                         


Damaged product

No matter how sophisticated and precise the shipping system in Canada, bad things can still happen. A small damage in electronic items can spoil your whole product. Some damage, as with electronics, may not be apparent externally. Only after you spends hour connecting your brand new multi-room audio system might discover that it does not turn on.         

Wrong product

There are chances of receiving the product you have never ordered. Sometimes you got a product that you were not expecting. You see a different image, shape, and size of the product online but it’s actually different when it arrives. The image on online sites is something different from the actual product. The sites deliver you the same product but you feel being cheated.

Returns
At times, the product must be returned due to the defects in the product that are not discovered until you receive it. Sometimes you have to return the product when you receive the wrong size or model of a product. The return policy of these online stores can be costly and time-consuming. Moreover to being inconvenient if your purchase is time sensitive, like a gift you need to complete a project on time.


Help after buying

You have bought a new multi-room audio system from Amazon and you need help setting up and configuring the various options this unit offers. Amazon is an e-commerce giant and it will not provide you any help regarding this. It sells just about everything you can imagine, but you won’t find any home theater expert when you need them actually. At last, you have to ask some expert near you or you’re on your own.

Installation


These e-commerce sites generally offer products, but not services such as installation for obvious logistical reasons. So whether it’s running wire through the attic for your multi-room audio system or resolve some issues related to speaker’s sound, you’re on your own as well.
