Or do you prefer to visit the real, physical stores to buy your purchases? Is there any reasons why or why not? Please share. Thank you.

i like both. shopping in physical stores is fun because you can go out with friends and have a good time. plus trying on cute clothes, shoes, etc. is always fun. but i also love shopping online - although i do 99% of my online shopping on ebay. :]

I prefer shopping in physical stores. The item in the picture, in on line stores, does not always look the same as in reality. Besides, the shipping from the online stores many times costs more then the item.

Something like partying then chill out over dinner? Spending time with friends is always enjoyable.;-)

my preference depends on the day or time of year. If I have lots of time and am in no rush then I like to go around shops, this though depends on the amount of people out and about. Do tend to get annoyed with crowds when I shop. If I don't have a lot of time or the shops are too busy then would prefer to shop online

Yes, I shop online. I used to only shop online for a few items that I couldn't find in stores around here, but I'm going to shop online a lot more now that I can get paid for doing it. There are a lot of reasons why people should shop online. It's saves gas, fewer emissions are released into our enviroment, it's generally cheaper, you can buy things that aren't easily found in your area, you save time, etc.

Yea, I do. Sometimes, online stores offer things not available at brick and mortar stores - especially if they are out of Singapore ones. Usually, the description online is already so persuasive. Most are so convincing that they do a better job making you buy online, then you touching the item yourself at the real stores. But the shipping fee is always a big concern. :(

Well, i don't tend to buy items online, unless i happen to come across an item that i really can't find anywhere else or it as at a extermly good price. Also, most of the time, since i am always last minute, i need the item pretty much at that very moment. Worrying about the condtion of the item and the post office service is always more drawbacks too. So yeah, i prefer shopping in person defiantly, but sometimes it is nice to shop in your PJ's at five in the morning.
