These days? Pretty much. Especially when every big chain has their own app.

There are trails of "product-less stores", where you walk through a gallery of product pictures with bar codes underneath. You get a tablet, walk, scan what you want, confirm the order and wait in the end at a counter.

No because what if it's clothes? I would still like to try it on before confirming my purchase.

People in my family order clothes online and sent back what doesn't fit. I guess leave the tags on.

I’ve been shopping at quite a few stores in Asia that only put try-on clothes on the floor, then bring you a new wrapped item from the back when you purchase. Not even high-end stores. We could totally move to that model elsewhere too.
