This is becoming much more of a problem. In the UK we have a shop called Argos, where you order from a catalogue then the item appears on a conveyor from an attached storage area a few minutes later. You could also ask to see something before you bought it. A few years ago they were large shops that had stock of pretty much everything in the catalogue.
Now they have become small areas in a supermarket which have no stock and everything has to be ordered online and collected the next day. Other high street shops are going the same way and making themselves irrelevant.
