Customers who purchase expensive electronics only to return them days later has long been a bane of Best Buy and other retailers. But now the store is embracing this try-before-you-buy approach for certain products.
Best Buy is teaming up with an online rental startup to launch an official program allowing customers to rent items before actually purchasing them.
Recode reports that Best Buy will debut a program later this month with San Francisco-bases startup Lumoid, offering customers the chance to try everything from cameras, drones, wearables, and other gadgets.
