I want to know how many of us do online shopping, is it safe and reliable I mean to say we get what we order or the items shown are different from what we order, just comment your views here for all of us if you have any good or even bad experience while shopping online
thanks

Hello dear dio. I have never tried online shopping, but my best friend has done a lot of shopping online, whose favorite site to do online shopping is www.landsend.com, where it offers a lot of convenience to do the online shopping. I think that I will also try this site to buy something to wear later on. Thank you for your discussion. Take care.

Yes, I love to shop online and have been doing it for years.
I like to purchase a lot of books, especially.
I find Amazon has the best deals and I look for shipper saving deals.
If I purchase these products I normally get free shipping.
I have never had an issue with security, but I scan my computer before I make
any transaction with a credit card just to be safe from keyloggers.
You never know...
Plus, it saves time and precious gasoline over having to drive. I just have
to wait a little longer for the product. But, oh well. I don't mind :)

yes, I shop online all the time.
I only shop at mainstream department stores.
and I have a lot of safety and protection features on my computer.
Also, I only use debit pay as you go card for online shopping, I put only the amount of money that I am spending on the card and that's it. I do this just in case someone gets a hold of it, there wouldn't be any money on it.

I have been shopping online for years and never had a problem. Hating long lines and crowds it's the best thing that ever happened as far as I'm concerned.

Not particulary, I do like the convience of it and how I can find several things online that are cheaper then I would find them in store. I hate having to wait so long for them to come in the mail, and sitting at my computer is not as much fun as going to stores. The interaction between ohter people and just getting out of the house.

I definitely prefer shopping on line. I don't like having to go to malls and deal with people, only during the hours they are open. I like being able to find whatever I want, wherever i want, from places that I would not have access to locally. I also get some really amazing deals on line.

I don't like to shop online. I hate paying for shipping! I also find that if I am looking for clothes, it is so much easier to just go to the stores and try things on so I can make sure the fit is right.

i think i prefer going to the stores because i get to see the item, touch it and maybe try it on, things like that. but no doubt, i've done online shopping before. i also love to see the catalogues online, it's so tempting to buy sometimes! most of the time whenever i buy online it's because the item that i want is not available here or if it is, it's cheaper to get it online

i still haven't tried shopping online. i guess if we shop with online merchants that has proven themselves with their service, there is nothing to worry. i actually done some transactions online and the last time i did was to request for my sister-in-law's birth certificate. it arrived on time and i liked their service.

I do not really shop on line... I look at things on line then go buy them,, unless I am bidding on something at eBay. and I win. Then of course it is sent to me via postal mail. But I use paypal, and do not give out all my information to everyone online. just to payapl, i have used them for years, I totally trust them,.

As much as possible I don't because they tend to be priced higher but since I am from a third world country and been wanting to buy some stuff in other country (it is cheaper in some, but here online goods are more expensive) so I am using online shopping and just ask some relative on that country to sent my package here.

it depends on wwhat i am looking for. currently i am looking for old rusty keys that i will be using in a scrapbooking project (its a present) and am using some now (i am scrapbooking for someone) and rather than hunt the countryside's antique stores, i can get what i want for the price i am willing to pay.

Yes sometimes I do. I haven't had a problem with the security of the sites I use. It is especially helpful during the Christmas season. It helps us to avoid the rush, the crowds. I have always gotten what I ordered.
