Someone I know is looking to buy a tv system.
The cost in the shops is about 200,000 yen.
On rakuten you can find it for 150,000 yen, including shipping and all the rest.
If he buys it in the shop, they will deliver it on Friday next week (waiting for stock).
If he buys it on rakuten, it will more than likely arrive on Tuesday.
He insists on buying it at the shop, however much I tell him that it is "safe" and there are no problems in buying from a shop online.
Is this stupid? If not, why not? I don't know, it just seems a bit mad to me.
