Do in-store pickup limit the distance you can be from store when placing your online order?
A few questions, Thanks
I see admin settings in eCommerce saying limit distance/mileage from store for sales but how many companies limit the distance someone can be to place an order?
If I go to Walmart and select a out of state zip code I can place a instore pickup order because it's paid for and will only be held for limited time.
Do you find stores though that say, sorry your too far away to order?
If you find stores that won't let you order because of your distance, what percent/% of stores do you think limit customer distance for orders?
If your a BUYER would you prefer no distance limit or don't you mind?
If your a STORE/Seller would you prefer to be able to limit the distance someone can place a order from or don't you mind?
If you do in-store pickup, what edits would you like stores to make to their policy?
Thanks in advance for your time.

If you can order online, they don't CARE where you are when you place the order.

That is not the store limiting you. That is so you can filter how far you're willing to drive.
Last Christmas Williams-Sonoma screwed up something I ordered for a gift. When I called customer service they said it was too late to ship it again but I could pick it up in-store. Yes, they wanted me to drive from Seattle to Spokane which is over an 8 hour drive round-trip.
The store doesn't care how far away you are or if you're ordering something that your Aunt Betty is going to pick up three states away.

they use it to avoid fake orders...
If someone wanted to screw with you, they could place 100 orders and never pick them up...get refunds on their credit card...

Who would be stupid enough to place a pick-up order with a pick up location that is too far away to be able to get to without difficulty ?
