Trying to purchase xz but must have in hand before buying to see if I like it, where can I see one?

 I am trying to examine one of these devices before I commit to purchasing it. I was trying to purchase one at Best Buy and they do not have them in the store, you must commit to purchasing one, they will then mail it to your home and you have to pay a $35 restocking fee if you don't like the way it looks or functions. I am living by Chicago is there any place where I can see one of these before purchasing? Or perhaps sister and the way that I can purchase one and return it without paying a restocking fee? I was looking at them on Amazon but I could not tell if there was a return charge if you did not like the phone.   When spending this much money on one of these smart phones I would like to first make sure that I like it. It seems like it a lot of money to spend on something that you have only seen in pictures, I would absolutely have to hold one in my hand before committing to a purchase.  So the question is, where can I see one of these or where can I buy it with a no questions asked return policy?

It'll be easier to ask bestbuy if they have it at any store or Sony Mobile USA >>> Local support

Tried that,  here in northern Illinois there are no units in any of the Best Buy stores, it's mail order sales only with a $35 restocking fee if you return it

It depends how badly you want to try the XZ. $35 for complete peace of mind seems ok to me.

I am interested in a  Xperia XZ, but I cannot commit to buying one sight unseen, I would have to hold one and see the quality, test the camera first. The BestBuys in my area only handle them online and charges a $35 restocking fee, Same with Amazon, if opened there is a fee. I do not want to pay that much money just for the ability to see one in person in case I do not like something about it, like the feel, look, or camera operation and charecteristics. Anyone know of a retail store within 50 miles on me (my location, 60050) that carries these and has a display madel that can be examined?
