JFK T4 electronics stores
Posting in our little corner of the universe since this is JFK/JFK T4 specific.
Due to a major blunder on my part while doing inventory I'm missing several of my suction cup mounts and I'm leaving in nine hours with a seven hour layover at JFK. Has anyone seen these at any of the stores in T4? https://gopro.com/en/us/shop/mounts-...-Pvuz_7LjWvJx5
There are Best Buy's near the airport I can hit but I don't trust online inventory and will have to call while in CVG tomorrow. If I can save a trip out of the airport, all the better since I was planning to finally enjoy the One Lounge.

Solution I would recommend would be placing a Doordash order from Best Buy to have it delivered to the airport (TWA Hotel maybe?). Lot quicker and cheaper than leaving JFK, even with the delivery costs. If it's out of stock, well, you still saved a trip to the Best Buy to find out.

Thats enough time to take the airtrain to the subway or LIRR and into the city to go to B&H a block from Penn station which will have everything and anything you need and back, with plenty of time to spare in the lounge
But is just so an online order and in-store pickup from a Best Buy. The one at the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream is no more than a 15min Lyft/uber/cab ride each way. In my experience Best Buy is pretty good with having pick up orders available within an hour or two. You could order before leaving from CDG or even on the flight (if theres WiFi) and have it waiting for you when you land. You can order from multiple Best Buys if you fear the closest one wont have them and go to the next closest at the Gateway Center in Brooklyn.
Theres also a target and a dicks sports by each of those Best Buys which might have the GoPro mounts too. And also do online pickups.

I've been working with Roberts out of Indy since the 90's and I always forget about B&H.
I'm also an old fart and forget doordash can do this. Going to try steveholt's idea and if push really comes to shove I'll have to hit a Saturn when I get to DUS.

As an alternative, if you wanted to have a meal before your second flight, you could ride the AirTrain for free to the Lefferts Boulevard station, and walk ten minutes to the highly-rated (cash only) Don Peppe Italian restaurant in Howard Beach. DoorDash should be able to deliver there without an issue. (I've never been to Don Peppe's, but it does get excellent reviews.)
Edited to add: The Best Buy "Gateway Brooklyn" store is 3.7 miles from Don Peppe's -- about a ten-minute drive, according to Google Maps.

I think that DoorDash is a great idea, but I wonder if they would be willing to deliver on airport grounds because of the parking issues.
