VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Stores are packed with Boxing Day shoppers, despite some predictions early online sales would mean fewer people in stores.
Around 6 a.m. Sunday there were at least 500 people lined up outside the Best Buy on Cambie Street near Broadway. People started lining up at 2 a.m.
Shoppers News1130 chatted with said the lines may be long, but it's worth it. "It's pretty amazing; this printer was $30 and $100 off. So, I don't think there's any other day of the year you can get that deal, so I feel it's worth it for sure."
Best Buy store manager Janine Ball says by midday sales were close to ones posted last year. "As strong, if not stronger, so we're very excited about the number of shoppers we're seeing in the building."
She adds flat screen TVs and laptops are some of the more popular items.
