Have you tried buying online?

We have tried online buying, but it's usually bookings for airline tickets or hotels. I haven't tried buying consumer goods online, maybe because our hypermarts and supermarts are quite near, about 15-30 minutes drive on weekends. As you mentioned, we weigh the convenience of buying online against the security and reputation of the sites; and moreover it's sometimes fun to touch and feel the goods!

I have never tried buying online. I think I'm scared that I might not get what I expected - especially in terms of quality. There was a time (just a couple of weeks ago), one my cousins who visited from the states wanted a Pacquiao shirt and we couldn't find one from any of the local stores. My other cousin ordered online. The print itself was good but the quality of the shirt was not very nice and the proportion of the print to the shirt was way off - also the size was not as ordered. Things like these are a turn off and make me even more skeptic on buying online. Oh and you know what I also find difficult about office hour shifts, aside from grocery hours? Laundry hours! They open so late and close so early, when do they expect me to drop by my stuff and pick them up when they're done? LOL I have to ask for favors to get my laundry brought to the place and picked up. I'm just so glad there are many nice people around us :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

For the most part I have had very good luck shopping online. Good customer service and fast service are the two things I look for beyond the product ofcourse. I have been lucky to utilize companies like HSN and QVC who are great!

I would rather walk in to the store to shop. I don't want to give out information to people on the internet whatever they are, I might sound very out-dated but it's true. to avoid any unecessary matters.

I know that some sites are really safe to buy online.However i still don't have confidence and can't trust them blindly.And its good to hear that you have started buying online.I even have planned that after i get my first $10 from mylot,,I will try my hand at online buying and will have an experience on that,..!!

I buy things over ebay all the time. After about 400 or so purchases, I've only ever had one go wrong. It took a while, but I managed to get most of my money back for that purchase through my credit card company, so it hasn't really soured my feelings towards buying things online at all.

I have bought a couple of things online but, not technically online for some purchases that I have made were only transactions online and later on, do meet-ups on particular places to see if what we want to buy or seel is in good condition. I have done that multiple times, most were good deals while I also share a particular one that wasn't satisfying at all. My very first online purchase, wherien I didn't have to meet up with the seller but, just have to wait for the package to arrive was a purchase I made in a site that I am member of. a box cap that costs are $34.43 I was just curious on how to buy things online since most often, you had to have your electronic account online to be verified but, on that site that I mentioned, they don't necessarily need a verified account. So when that was clear, I placed an order a waited for a few days to get the package. It was nice and the site was reliable as plenty of members have already gave tesitimonies of its good service so I was pretty assured. Doing meet ups can really be tedious at times but, satisfaction and security would be the aces on that deal. Online would leave you wondering and would later on be a good feedback or a bad one when the product you ordered isn't really what suits you.

I enjoy shopping online. It is very convenient. The price is usually very competitive. And I can buy various kind of products easily. In fact I am already a VIP to an online shopping website. I love China

Yes I've bought a lot of stuffs online. But only from Amazon.com. I haven't tried any other websites... not even ebay. I'll be biased since I've only tried amazon. If you live in the US (or Japan since there's also amazon.co.jp, or UK since there's also amazon.co.uk), it's very convenient. everything's there already, even some grocery items. but if you live far away from those countries, then you can only order books & CDs/DVDs. My online shopping experience is good. no negative feedback from me. :)

I always buy online. It's easier and more convenient. I do get positive feedbacks too.. It's a good feeling to receive a positive feedback. Sometimes I just want to get a positive feedback that's why I buy or sell. There are so many bogus sellers on the net to so I don't like to transact with people who have zero feedbacks because they always tend to not pursue the transaction.

Yes, i do enjoy shopping online because it's very convenient.. there's no need to go out and raid every store to look for items that i'd like to buy for myself.. what i usually buy online are cool gadgets.. there are so many gadgets that are being sold for low low prices!! if i just have the money, i'd like to buy a new mobile phone for myself.. because i'm sick and tired of my old school phone.. =p

i like to online shop. whether its window shopping or actually purchasing. its a lot easier and more convenient. ive bought books, bras/underwear from victoria secret before (cause i know my size already) bought some stuff on ebay before and ive only got positive feedback. things came on time, in good condition and just what i wanted so online shopping gets 2 thumbs up from me LOL

I bought stuff from online commercial sites too. Majority of my stuffs are related to computer accessories. So, I have limited experience on variety of shopping online products. You should be more careful, that is a general advise. You might also check on consumer's report.

Oh,I have tried a lot !I started online shopping 2 or 3 yeas before when I was in college!I bought some clothes ,cell phone fee,books online.Not long before,I bought my cell phone and my laptop online.Some of my friends saied that I am crazy about it.It is hard to let others who never try this believe it ,but for those who have been tried before,like me,it is just like commen shoppings.I think the most important thing is that you need to find a good online website !I reccond that if you wanna to buy some clothes or small thing,you can try taobao,if you wanna buy some digtal things,like camera,phone and laptops,you can try jingdong!

My fiance and I try to buy from sites that we know we can trust or that we feel we can trust. We usually buy books and maybe dvds from sites like the ones we've mentioned. I guess first we try to make sure that we can find information out about the seller before we purchase, sites like amazon have different sellers and they also have a part of the site that entails information about the person, so we try to go by that. I think we've only had one person to whom we did not like much but it wasn't our product we just bought it for someone who gave us the money!

No i haven't tried online shopping yet because i don't have money. Lol! Seriously, i haven't tried it yet because of trust issues. There could be lots of complications that may arise in between negotiation. It's difficult to rely on the site's integrity. Maybe for cheaper products, i'd give it a go. Otherwise, i'll go shop at nearby malls.

I haven't tried buying online, I prefer to go out in the malls and supermarkets to buy things. I guess I'm one of those people who doesn't just want to see what they buy but want to touch them as well. :)

So far I have tried to buy online on my local stores www.lelong.com.my.Normally I will pick the stores that has the highest rating/ranking by customers.

I buy from Ebay and have never had any problems. The goods always arrive quickly and are well packaged. I also buy my groceries online - I find it better than going into the supermarket where I am always tempted to pop in extra items and then the budget is blown. Where I shop you choose your time slot so you can be sure you are at home when the delivery arrives which is quite convenient. They always give you substitutes if the product you ordered is not available.

I buy from Amazon as well as ebay. I am also in the process of selling some items that I do not need on ebay sometime this spring after I get my spring cleaning done. I do well with Amazon because everything I order gets to me days before they say it will. I have no children so I do not need to buy any baby items.
