#2 Just like the big box stores closed corner groceries, Amazon and its new competitor from China will start closing Sears, Macy's and etc. this is already happening.

#3 What closed Sears, et al., is lack of customer service and not having what I need/want in the store.

I'd rather be able to go pick up something I need from the store, but so often it's not available locally, even though I've looked in several stores. What choice to I have?

#4 Sears blew it. With their catalog sales history they had everything in place to pre-empt Amazon, but failed to recognize the opportunity/threat, and continued to charge extra for catalog sales.
