Online Shopping or Normal Shopping

October 28, 2006 3:26pm CST
Do you like more to shop online or do you do more normal shopping? I want to know your opinion.

Shopping online is easier and not such of a hassle. But the only problem with online shopping is that you don't get to see what you are buying in person unless you already know what you want and don't need to see it.

That's right. That's mostly the most important thing of a item.

I really like shopping online, I think it is way more convenient. The only flaw in online shopping that i can see is when shopping for clothes. I learned the hard way when i ordered a large amount of clothing online, with no way to try them on. When the arrived they were all too large and had to be sent back which took forever. My experience was not enough to get me to stop shopping online, i still love it.

You can at first buy one of the clothings and when it have the right size you buy the other.

I like both there are pros's and con's for both. Online is great unless the site is credit card only and I don't order food through the mail. Regular shopping is better to buy food but you have to wait in line but I think both ways are great since I love shopping.

It depends on what I am shopping for. I really do like not having to fight crowds, wait in lines and all that, but there are some things I would prefer not to buy online. Things like fruit and vegatables, I need to do the picking out in person. Shoes since you really need to try them on and walk around in them to see if you think they will break in well. I do enjoy "normal" shopping sometimes as there might be something that catches my eye that I would not have seen if I was shopping online, since I would probably be doing a search for something specific, and since I always block pop-ups, there would be no way to show me something else.

Yes, I buy my shoes in normal shopping, too. And also fruits and the other normal things.

I do a combination of the two. If I need something ASAP, I will run to the mall. If I am shopping for a Birthday or Christmas in advance I will usually shop online. School books I always buy online. With the deals you can get on shipping and not paying taxes, you can save a bundle. Often, I can only get what I want online without having to search around and waste my time and gas.

well, online shopping has it's ups and downs. You can find just about anything on the net, however, you can't see the exact colors nor can you try it on. I personally find it a bit irratating to buy a dress only to discover that my chest is to small/big for the neckline. etc.

Well, DaniFilth, since you want to know my opinion... I like online shopping because I am lazy and prefer to sit in front of my computer, where I can find most anything I want. However, I also like real normal shopping beacuse there is no wait time for the goods to be delivered. I see it, I pay for it, I have it in my hand - and that's satisfying to me.

Sometimes you have a special service at some internet shops: They deliver to the next day and you have it. ;-) I mostly only go for normal things to a supermarket.

I love online shopping. I sent fresh flowers to my friend in india on his birthday. He was so happy. Online shoping is good and but only with secure website.
