blu ray player in MI

[optiplex]

I'll be going to milwaukee for 5 days business trip and hope you guys can help me.

Where can I get blu ray player such as Panasonic BD60 in milwaukee?
and iphone 3G as well ?

I've done a lot of googling and only manage to find walmart and bestbuy, but their price are a bit expensvie.

I cant order from internet, because some dont ship to hotel and i afraid the shipment might delay and I couldnt get it on time.

Besides the usual national big-box guys some local options are:

Flanners
American
Colders

I think Milwaukee is generally a horrible place to purchase electronics....  There aren't really any large "techie" stores outside the national chains with components at reasonable prices...

Basically you can expect to pay 30-50% more for just about anything than you would online or in a larger market... Personally I tend to buy almost everything online....

Now Chicago is another story....

I usually compare on line then buy at ABT Electronics off of Rte 21, east of US45, but that's me...I live so close to the border.

Why do you need to buy them in Milwaukee? Are you coming from another country?

Yea, I'm coming from asian country. BD player price is extremely high.
I'll be staying at Milwaukee for 5 days, San Francisco 3 days, Los Angeles 3 days.
I will be provided a company car at milwaukee though, heard driving to Chicago is only an hour ?

Panasonic BD60 selling at USD552 & Kuro 50" is USD4200 at my country, also I need to buy some Nike(maybe at Union Square, SF), Lego and probably iphone

Thanks for all the replies

I think it would be safe for you to order it from Tiger Direct ( //www.tigerdirect.com ) if you want to ship it to your hotel...  If you order it the day you get there it will get to you the very next day...  It will ship from Chicago and their cheapest shipping always comes the next day... I have never EVER had a Tiger Direct order take more than 24 hours to get to my home in Milwaukee..  If your gonna be there 5 days it won't be a problem...  It would probably be more convienient and maybe even less expensive to have it shipped from Chicago than to drive to Chicago yourself..

If you are really paranoid and want to order it before you get there, I would think most hotels will hold a shipment for you at the desk until you arrive (epspecially if you have a reservation and they know you are coming)...

If you are going to be in SF and LA then you should be able to find what you want at the price you want.  Not worth it to drive to Chicago.  Unless you want to go down there anyway you won't save enough to pay for driving down there.

Even paying retail price here would have saved you money.
