As the internet developed, we, young people choose shopping on line as a daily shopping method. It not only can saves our time to go out but also saves the transportation fees. At the same time, we are mostly attracted by the lower prices! But there are some disadvantages of the on-line shopping as we cannot see the real object before we receive it. We can only get the informations from the pictures!
It is still a question that whether the thing we brought is the one as described in the picture or not!
So I would like to ask, which one do you prefer to choose as your daily shopping method?
Have a nice day!

Hi laura, I actually do both. And, I also own an online shop. But, I do prefer to shop at the malls still than online, cause you could get to fit the clothes and make sure that it looks good on you. Unlike in online, like you said, you could only see the pictures.
I love to online shop as well as it is convenient, and there are some stuff that you can't find in the malls that you can find online.

Hey, thank your for your answer~I really prefer to buy things on-line just for the low prices~Hehe~ You know sometimes we can fit the clothes in the shopping centre~and buy the same kinds of the cloths on-line in a lower price~Many of my friends also like this way!~

I like both. Nothing can replace going to a mall or a store and seeing, feeling and experiencing the time or the fact that physical shopping can be something you can experience and create a memory with family and friends. But, I do a lot of shopping online. You can't beat the prices you can get and how easy it can be. I love how online shopping you can get reviews and research without driving all over town. The only downfall to online shopping is on occasion you have to pay for shipping and then wait to receive the item.

Yeah, it is really enjoyable when we hang out with family or some close friends! We can talk everything interesting in our life. I think, to you, shopping is not just shopping. It's an important part of our life. Enjoy it!~

I love both of online shopping and shopping on shopping centre. I think the difference is on the goods. We can't buy something for immediate use from online shopping site. So usually the online shopping site offering exclusive products. I'm sure that people can't choose only one kind shopping method to fulfilling their needs. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Thanks for your answer! I always visit a BBS to get some experiences on home decortation! You know, they even bought TVs or funitures on the web! So maybe there isn't anything we couldn't buy on line! Hehe~ I think it all depends on yourself~~
Have a nice day~

I love shopping online and I also like going and finding the best deals. If that be going to the store then I will go. One of the websites I check out all of the time is www.fatwallet.com I then would head over to the forums section and from there go to the hot deals. They will have random hot deals all the time, but you can also search and see if something you are looking for is available at a really good price. This site has saved me countless cash!

I would prefer shopping in the shopping, first it is because I like to have money in my hand, when I wnat to buy something, I just spend it and make sure everything is right because there sometimes is problem on the internet transaction. Second is we can get the products immediately or know when it is going to be delivered. Shopping online is convenient but I don't particularly like it.

A choose both. I don't shop online when I don't know or I don't see in real the products. I usually purchase online mobile phones. But on electronics I don't chose delivery, I do meet ups that way i can rest assured that the device has no defect.

I sometimes buy online. I buy online because it is convenient for me and I cannot find that item anywhere else. But I still prefer the old-fashioned way of going to the mall to shop. I like trying on the clothes first before buying so that I would know if it is nice or not. I only buy online when it comes to books. With clothes, shoes, and bags, I always buy at the mall so that I can check out the quality first.

I prefer in shopping center, because you can see if the items are not spoil or rotten, then you can chose the best, at the same time you can enjoy the mall and and view something, in online you can see it online in good condition but you didn't know whether the product are in good condition if they deliver to you.

For my daily shopping I choose to go in the real store in the centre of the city, because I can choose and touch with hand the products.
For certain kind of shopping with particular things, I choose online shopping, because you can save some money and maybe you can find something that you can't find in your country, in a normal shop!

For me, it depend on a few factor. 1) The value of the product. If the product is not so expensive, i don't mind taking some risk to get it at a cheaper price. however, if the product worth a lot, i will want to have a look at teh virtual product before i buy it. 2) reliability of the seller. I only will buy from seller that are trustworthy. Anyway, up to now i do not have any bad experience shopping online. Hope it won't happen to me.
