1.  The stuffed suits around the Mahogony table have to decide whether to
carry it or not.
2.  They have to decide whether to end-cap it or not, generating more
revenue than the sale itself.
3.  How many to order, based on some bizarre research committe that takes 2
weeks to scratch their asses.
4.  Order the product in to their main warehouse.
5.  Lose it for 3 days in their main warehouse.
6.  Find it, then lose it again for 3 more days in their warehouse.
7.  Finally, ship it out to their stores.
8.  The store then tries to 'implement' the plan determined by the
mothership.
9.  Product training. - Oh, that's right.  Never mind.
10.Customer gets lucky, as they walk in, ask 'where is N3', and the guy says
let me check in the back, where it is buried
     under neath 42 cases of Mechwarrior 3.  But, can't let you have it
because it hasn't been 'scanned' yet.  Come back
     tomorrow please.

EB is much ligher-footed.  So are mail-order companies.
