What do you think of shopping online?

I haven't gone shopping online until half a month ago. I had no confidence in online shopping before, and had no courage to try it. I thought it was illusory and preferred to shopping around entities. But half a month ago, one thing changed me and changed my mind: I received an invitation of my friend for her marriage, and I wanted to give her a piece of CD as present. But it was disappointing that I could not find one in any store in my city. At last, I tried at taobao, a shopping net, and this time I found what I wanted. Of course I was worried about the authenticity and feasibility, although I chose a seller with a high reputation. 2 days later, I received the piece of CD, and all my worries had gone away. I began to trust it, and buy some other things online. Now, I am not afraid to shop online, and I like it. It is more convenient. What do you think of shopping online? Do you have the same experience?

Well, I agree with you! Sometimes we would buy something more expensive online than in an entity shop. Maybe we should make a decision after a good comparison, and it is better to go first in an entity shop.

i love to shop online, it's addictive! browsing thru the catalogue is fun too. of course i still love to go to the stores because then i'll get to see/touch/try the item. i buy things online when the item that i want is not available in my country or if it is, it's cheaper to get it online

Yes, I agree with you. Your way of shopping is more rational. Online shopping gives us more conveniences. But if we can take advantage of both online shopping and shopping in stores, we can do a better shoppng. Thank you for your response.

Hi Friend, Shopping online is a great thing one can expext in this arena of technology but what you need to keep in mind is the security of your money. You did a nice job that you bought that from a reputed seller. Online shopping provides you a vast range so that you can have a product of your chaoice and need.

I am absolutely addicted to online shopping. I do probably 75% of my shopping online. It is so much more convenient to me & alot of places charge a flat rate shipping of $5. I have 2 toddler girls & it is easier to shop online then take them to the mall or anywhere shopping.

I think everyone who has an experience of online shopping would like it. It saves time and has more merchandises to be chosen. Your experience reminds me of a person, whose net name is mother of the child. She is also an addicter on online shopping. So happy shopping! Thanks for your response.
