recently,i found that the things online are much cheaper than those in shop.i thought maybe because it is free of trasportaion,but it is really much cheaper.i alawys hold doubt about buying online,because it may in poor quality or there might something happening during the delivery.but one of my fiends bought some book online,it is in the best quality and pay the money when he got the book.i was really surprised to hear that.i think i will also buy things online from now.so,what about you,do you have somethins to complain to the service online?

I don't buy online because it usually requires payment by credit card, which i don't have because i'm still a student and it's not allowed here in our country. my second reason for not buying online is that i have noticed that when i am shipping goods to my country, the freight costs more than the value of the items i bought, thus making it more expensive. Although, I am aware that items online are cheaper, I think I'll only start buying items online if they would allow free shipping to where i live. honestly, there are really good items online and sometimes i do wish i could buy them. unfortunately, it's just not possible for me.

yeah i do buy things on the internet. not that often though. only when the things that i really want is not available in my country, or if the item is available, it's cheaper online- then i will buy it online. :)

yes, we do buy online but we make it sure that we are on a trusted brand. If we never tried that online store yet, we just buy one or two products first just to check the quality. When it comes to furnitures and appliances, we buy them in the store. You just have to be wise in buying stuff online. It's better to shop in the online store that is already tried by your friends.

Recently i started to buy online, first i had my doubts but i have seen that same products are cheaper on the internet than those in shops.You do not have to worry about the quality those are the same products you find in your local shop.

I've also recently found out about the positive things of buying online & if you check my profile, I also joined a site in which I get to own my very own online mall. There are definite perks in buying things online in that you get to save both time and money...not bad in this fast paced world--& what's also good in my power mall is that members also earn rebates--definitely not bad!

I buy lots of things on the internet...mostly books and music. Living in both Canada and the States (part time in each place) sometimes I'll order something in one country and have it shipped to the other, so I can pick it up upon arrival, or use it when I get there.

I find that buying things online have products that are in good quality. I have little to complain to the service online.

I do. You have to search around as sometimes with shipping it isn't cheaper, but often I find it is. Or nearly, and the convenience of not having to go out for me is a big factor in shopping online. I have 4 kids 4 and under, am a part time student, married...you know, busy and I hate to shop!!! So, I'll order online. I find online auctions are great deals for kids clothes, toys, etc, and that is the bulk of what I buy online. I also buy a lot of my books and DVD's online as well, direct from the retailer.

Yes I do buy things from the internet. I buy many things from the internet like plushes, video games, and scratch remover. I look for low prices to compare and buy them. The website I usually use is ebay.

I never buy books online, but I buy some clothes. I must say the quality is really a problem.The reason why it is cheaper, I think that's because the sellors on line needn't pay the rent of the shops instead of the traspotation. Often the cost of transportation is paied by the buyer.

I've purchased online before. Depends if an item catches my eye and I can't find it at a suitable price locally. Like I got a Fate/Stay Night T-shirt I couldn't have gotten locally. Pretty good way to do things, though it's no full replacement for browsing in a shop.
