Starting to Really Love Online Shopping...

It's raining and raining and raining here these days and life has been incredibly boring. I remember that I had to buy some skin care, and daily bath and body products because my stock was running low. Well, those stuff could be "heavy" because usually I opt for family size. Then I remember a company which I used to get my stuff offers internet shopping locally. I just went there and did quite a few magic clicks and then stuff arrived at my house the very next day (without me having to go in the rain and carry all those home). Do you tend to buy heavy stuff online too, so you don't have to carry them around?

Wow, it's shipped from Hong Kong (where I lived!). Interesting! I am not surprised by the service then, because we are so impatient and we demand things to be delivered very quickly!

It has been raining seriously here in these days. But even if there is no rain, I still love purchasing online. In fact lately I have bought some products via the net because I can't find them here. And therefore I have to look for them via the net. Yesterday I received a little electrical appliance to boil the egg and that's great. Three T-shirts are on the way as I will draw pictures on them for my husband, my son and myself. And we will look cool when we go out together.
I love China

Yes I remember you always buy stuff online! Lately I want to buy a beauty massage machine online but still haven't really got time to do more research. Have to seriously find time to do that.

I love shopping online. I tend to buy my books and stuff online rather going to the store because I can get those for pretty cheap. I haven't ventured into getting body care products or anything like that online yet. I may sometime but just not yet.

I think it's a progression with online shopping. I might buy other stuff online later too, but now I am sticking to those very heavy stuff *laughs*.

I love shopping online. It used to be a problem because mail delivery to our home was so lame, but now I have a mail forwarding service with the UPS store and they are just great. I totally love knowing that my packages are safe and not lying out in the sun or at a neighbor's house. I have told all of our neighbors to please just reject any packages the carriers ask them to hold for me, but do you know they just do not seem to be able to say no to anyone in a uniform.
So once a neighbor signed for one of my packages right after we left on a trip and stored the big box in his bedroom for 4 or 5 months! It is a good thing it was not fruitcakes.

Yea *laughs*. I wasn't really used to buying online because I don't seem to be able to wait for the product. I want to pay and then get something back (instead of waiting). But now I guess I start to appreciate the service. Just wish I wouldn't get lazier and lazier by doing this!

I dont have a internet grocery store that delivers in my area, but there are a few things that I order online like pet products and household goods. I dont like the idea of ordering clothes online because everyones sizes are so different and that would take away from the fun of shopping for them. I would love to have some strong young delivery man bring my heavier items into my house, maybe someday.

Right, I still don't want to order clothes online because I would love to try on and make sure they are fit before purchasing.

Living in a area where the local shopping sucks I do a lot of it online. Expecially with stuff I can't get local and stuff I can get online cheaper. The only thing we don't have is the whole internet grocery delivery. That would be exciting but probably would make me even more lazy.

I am afraid that I would be lazy one day and just sit at home and order. But I guess that won't happen because there are still something I want to physically go out and shop.

I love shopping on line. There is so much more I can find, since I am not limited to the stores in my area. I have been able to order things from all over the world that I can not get in Canada.

That's true! Being able to order from all over the world is really exciting. I could spend hours looking for things online to shop *laughs*.

I order my heavy grocery shopping from local delivery company. I order heavy water and drinks, laundry detergent and heavy cooking supply.
They have same fee for delivery and I can order most of my groceries and have them deliver to my house.
Delivery guys are so nice, they ask if I need help to place it all in my refrigerator...

Yea for those heavy stuff, I really don't feel like the hassle of carrying them around.

Hello wondericequeen,
I never bought any beauty products online as I don't find a good local shop which offers online shopping here. But if I do, I will try it. It will save my petrol, my parking fee and I don't want to waste my time on the road during bad weathers too...

Oh I haven't shop for clothes online yet as I still love to try them on before purchasing. It's good to have a boyfriend to do the "heavy lifting" for you!

It is starting to grow on me now that gas prices are getting so high the shipping cost and the fact that I can find several items cheaper than in store saves me money in the long run. I just hate having to wait 2-3 weeks sometimes to get what it is I ordered.

Online shopping can be really fun. It is convenient to
buy things online and have them delivered to your door.
The only thing I dont like about it is you cant feel and test out the merchandise.

That's one drawback but I guess everything has its downside.

Online shopping is a rea l good thing,and bless the people that invented it.Im often looking in the stores online aqnd often I find the things that I want more easily than being in the shop.When your in the shop you are fighting your wqay through the people and trying to see whats on offer but when your online you can see exactly what you want and go for it there and then,
