Best Buy is not setup like Newegg. This is in store pick up with an extra step.
No, it is on Best Buy. They could’ve shipped it via a known carrier but elected to go a cheaper route to save money. One bad egg doesn’t work when you’re a large company. Raise the price five dollars or eat the shipping costs and use UPS.

They still have stock in warehouses/distribution centers that they can move with real logistics companies like UPS.
If they want to offer shipping to their customers, they need to use a method that ensures it makes it there safely. DoorDash, instacart, etc are not such methods.

I’m not sure if that’s even “in-store”, the Doordash map shows the package originally from a warehouse like in a different state 3 hours away (on June 18, one day after ordering), then they moved it overnight (late night of June 18 / early morning of June 19) to a different warehouse 2 hours away, then June 19 they sent a driver to pick it up, bring it to my house, and promptly stole it.
They could’ve just used UPS!

Oh I stand corrected then. My local is Best Buy is 10 miles away. I’ve picked up there a few times and seen drivers picking up there before.
Did not realize they would also deliver direct from a wharehouse.

Kinda missed my point. It’s the driver’s choice to steal.

So if Bestbuy asked Slick Rick and his boys from da hood to deliver the item and it got stolen by the boys, Bestbuy would be 100% off the hook?

Well BestBuy would be like 95% off the hook. You’re gonna just let Rick & the boys off the hook? Unless BestBuy is running an op with Rick & the boys, it’s Rick & the boys that stole your shit.
If it keeps happening, and BestBuy keeps using Rick & the boys, then they’d be 100% liable because of negligence.
