The fastest way to find a Fire Stick near you

Amazon sells Fire Sticks through Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Amazon itself — both online and in physical stores. Best Buy and Walmart stock them in their electronics sections and usually have multiple models on hand. Target carries Fire Sticks but availability varies by location. Amazon's own website offers next-day or same-day delivery in many areas, and you can also order through Amazon's app for pickup at Whole Foods locations in some regions.

If you need one today, call ahead to the nearest Best Buy or Walmart to confirm they have the model you want in stock. Most stores keep the basic Fire Stick and Fire Stick 4K models available, but newer or specialty versions may require ordering. Prices are the same across retailers — Amazon sets the manufacturer's suggested retail price — so your choice comes down to convenience and delivery speed.

Key Takeaways

  • Best Buy and Walmart carry Fire Sticks in their physical stores and online, with same-day or next-day options available in many areas.
  • Target stocks Fire Sticks but availability depends on your location, so checking their website before visiting saves a trip.
  • Amazon.com offers the widest selection of models and the fastest delivery in metro areas, including same-day options.
  • Prices are identical across all major retailers, so compare delivery speed and pickup options rather than price.
  • Calling the store before you go confirms they have the specific model in stock, since popular versions sell out quickly.

Best Buy: In-store pickup and same-day delivery

Best Buy stocks Fire Sticks year-round and offers same-day delivery in most metro areas through their website or app. You can order online and pick up in-store within a few hours, or have it delivered to your home the same day if you order before a certain cutoff time — usually 2 p.m. Best Buy's website shows real-time inventory for your nearest location, so you can see whether the model you want is in stock before you drive there.

Best Buy carries the Fire Stick 4K, Fire Stick 4K Max, and the standard Fire Stick. Prices match Amazon's, and Best Buy's return window is 15 days, which gives you time to test it at home. If you have a Best Buy membership, you may see occasional discounts during sales events, though these are rare for Fire Sticks specifically.

Walmart: Budget-friendly and widely available

Walmart carries Fire Sticks in most stores and offers online ordering with in-store pickup or home delivery. Walmart's website lets you check inventory at your nearest location and reserve a unit for pickup. Delivery times vary — some areas get next-day delivery, while others take three to five days. Walmart's prices match Amazon's standard pricing, and their return policy allows 90 days for unopened items and 15 days for opened ones.

Walmart typically stocks the basic Fire Stick and Fire Stick 4K. If you have a Walmart+ membership, you may see free next-day delivery on some orders. Call your local Walmart's electronics department directly if you want to confirm stock before ordering, since inventory can change quickly during sales periods.

Target: Limited selection with convenient pickup

Target carries Fire Sticks online and in many physical stores, though availability varies by location. You can order through Target's website or app and pick up the same day at most locations, or have it shipped to your home. Target's website shows whether the item is in stock at your nearest store, so check before you visit. Target's return window is 30 days for unopened items and varies for opened ones, so ask at the register about their specific policy for electronics.

Target's selection is smaller than Best Buy's or Walmart's — you may find only the basic Fire Stick and Fire Stick 4K, not the Max model. Prices are the same as other retailers. If you have a Target Circle membership, you may see occasional discounts during promotional events.

Amazon.com: The widest selection and fastest delivery

Amazon.com carries every Fire Stick model and offers same-day or next-day delivery in most metro areas. You can order through Amazon's website or app and track your delivery in real time. Amazon Prime members get free fast shipping; non-members pay a delivery fee but can still get next-day service in many areas. Amazon's return window is 30 days, and returns are free if you use Amazon's prepaid shipping label.

Amazon's website shows the exact delivery date before you order, so you know whether same-day is available in your area. If you do not have a Prime membership, Amazon offers one-time fast shipping for a fee. Amazon also sells Fire Sticks through its physical Amazon Go stores in select cities, where you can walk in and buy one when ready.

Whole Foods pickup: Amazon's in-person option

Amazon offers order-for-pickup at Whole Foods locations in some regions. You order through Amazon's app or website, choose a nearby Whole Foods store, and pick up your Fire Stick within a few hours. This option is available only in areas where Amazon operates Whole Foods stores, so check Amazon's website to see if your location is covered. Pickup is free, and you avoid shipping costs and delivery waits.

This option works best if you already shop at Whole Foods or live near one. Availability of Fire Stick models at Whole Foods is sometimes more limited than on Amazon.com, so check the app before ordering to confirm the model you want is in stock at your chosen location.

What to check before you buy

Fire Sticks come in four main versions: the basic Fire Stick, Fire Stick 4K, Fire Stick 4K Max, and Fire Stick Lite. The basic model and Lite are the cheapest and work with most TVs. The 4K and 4K Max are faster and support higher resolution if your TV is 4K-capable. Make sure your TV has an HDMI port — all modern TVs do, but very old ones may not.

Check whether the retailer's return policy covers opened items, since you may want to test the Fire Stick at home before keeping it. Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Amazon all allow returns within 15 to 30 days, but policies differ on whether the box must be unopened. Ask the retailer or read their website before you buy if this matters to you.
