Where do you draw a line between driving to boutique or ordering over phone if it is

I live too far from the stores and order exclusively online. It's a disadvantage because I never interact with an SA and I have no clue how things look on me or feel. I have to send it back quickly or I'm stuck selling it on the second hand market, then I take a hit. But if you already know exactly what you want...it's seconds to order if you set up a profile. Pros and cons depending on different variables. The youtube videos and this forum are so valuable to someone like me. I just do tons of research.
When I am in France, my boutique is literally a five minute walk from my place. When I am in the US, it's almost a three hour drive to the nearest store. Therefore I never go there for the only purpose of visiting Louis Vuitton.
I actually love living most of the year away from a store because it erases the possibility of impulse buys. 😃😍 I don't care for placing an order over the phone. It doesn't feel right to me. In the end, no item is that important to me, so if I wait and it's no longer available, who cares? Something as pretty, as cool, and as limited will show up in the next collection!

I live about a 20 minute drive from the closest store so I just go there when I'm ready to make my next purchase. I enjoy being able to peruse through all of the goodies and actually make a detailed inspection of what I'm interested in buying. The only time I'll make a call to the store is to either check on the status of something I sent off for repair or to ask if they have what I'm looking for in stock so I don't 'waste' a trip.
I live an hour away from the store so I plan shopping trips every 3 months - even if I go to LV just to browse as part of my trip. I ordered my Speedy 30 in Emp online and while it made the whole process easier, I would have picked a different Speedy in store because of a few dents in mine when it came.
If you are ordering something that requires hand picking such as vernis embossing and bags that are made in France then drive to boutique, otherwise online ordering is more handy!
I love visiting the boutqiues to check out new releases and make purchases ! If i know I want a bag then I will call the boutique and order it by phone or order online ! I like for it to be a surprise where my bag is made .. Believe it or not I always end up with a made in France bag when ordering online .. In the boutique they always bring me made in USA which is fine with me as well !
I live about an hour away but honestly do the majority of my purchases online. I wish I could say I have had a positive experience at the store by me, but the last time I went there (November 2015) I bought my Neverfull GM in DE. The SA seemed rather disinterested in helping me, like I was wasting her time. Oh, and the store was empty, as I got there right when they opened.
I live 30 mns away from two stores but never go in to just browse...that's how I avoid temptation. I fall in love with the aesthetics of the item online and do tons of research beforehand. So when I go to the boutique ( which is not often) I already know what I want and get in and out in 30 mns or less
