Physical stores don't charge you shipping fees for those big items 
Hey maybe you just need better stores! I could run out right now and buy a new couch, bed, fridge, etc., and have it delivered tonight - for free (even on Sunday). Order something that big off the net, you're looking at over a $100 for shipping.
But I do a lot of internet shopping as well. For smaller electronic components I prefer to research it online, then find the best price online. That process is a lot easier than spending the day driving around from store to store.
I do buy all my computer gear online. Hmmm, but now that I think about it I did manage to get free shipping on the tv I bought for the computer room through Amazon.
Competition from the internet, in theory, is forcing physical store fronts to provide better services.
