That question seems absolutely alien to me. Surely you have alternatives in the US, don't you? Here in Germany I visit Geizhals, search for the product in question, sort by price and order from one of the countless shops that have the product in stock.

Maybe I'll end up on Amazon, maybe not - they all can deliver quite fast and they all have to adhere to european minium return policy standards. So the handling of returns isn't something most customers ever have to think about.

Just to give an example here's the price comparison for a current AMD CPU: https://geizhals.de/amd-ryzen-7-7700x-100-100000591wof-a2801...

Don't you have anything similar over there?

If we do, I have never experienced something that works and is useful, but just by using PCPartPicker to see shops to buy electronics my choices are Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, B&H, Gamestop, and three other companies I have never heard of. The thing about that is I don't have europeaan minimum return policy standards, so any website I don't know about can rip me off and I cannot do anything about it.

I also live in a pretty remote area, so I have to drive 45 minutes to 2 hours to be in any big box store.
