do you prefer shop online or at store?

Well, I also prefer the store. Like what you said, you can see/feel the product for yourself. You can even return it if you found any faults without having to ship it back to the country where it came from. Sometimes, I find that descriptions and photos in online stores are very different from the actual thing that they send!

Hi Crazy_Poster! I actually took some time enjoying your avatar before coming to your post here. Well it depends on what you want to buy. I would rather shop for clothes and shoes where I can try and see if they fit. I've bought a software online from a trusted dealer, one I've enjoyed using till now and know my money is well spent. The supermarket nearby has recently started an online store. And that's where I'm considering to get my groceries from too.

I also prefer shopping at a store rather than shopping through online. Not only for security reasons but as well as the quantity of the product. When you shop online like for example, at ebay. Sellers post pictures right? But some sellers just copy other pictures from the net and use it as their own. To add insult, its not really the exact same thing as what they posted as a picture all along. In short, robbed I guess. My friend experienced that kind of thing online and that serves as a lesson for me to just prefer to shop at a store even if its more expensive than on online. It assures you of a quality product, you can even exchange for a brand new if its broken through warranty. That's about it.

I agree with you. Shopping personally is better than shopping online. We can see and feel the products and can test them also, which is so very important.

i prefer shopping at store rather than online i only shop online whenever i get some vouchers which i can use only online otherwise i never shop online actually ,many times product are different from the one shown in the picture and also we cannot see the quality of the product, we have to accept whatever they send so i think shopping from store is best

Online shopping is not possible with our current scenario. It is only possible when all people know more about how to go for online shopping in my country.

i prefer to shop in the store if i can for the same reasons like you... i'm not really comfortable using my credit card online and i would like to be able to see the item i am buying first before i spend my money... and i think it is safer as well as you can bring the item home straight away... take care and have a nice day...

I enjoy shopping online. It is fun. convenient, and you can wear whatever you like. Still, there is nothing like the experience of being in the store, rifling through the merchandise. You may even run into a friend you havent seen in a while. Even though I shop online often, I will still orefer the retail store.

i prefer shoping at stores you can se the produc much better and its a lot more fun :P , and you can alwais use the exercise :P not just staying at home watching the monitor i like shoping online when i dont find the thing im looking for online you can find anything and everything

hello crazy poster, nice avatar you got there! dancing spiderman,is it? well,with regards to your topic,i can say i don't shop online cause i guess it's much more practical to shop at a certain store itself and you can have the merchandise with you when you purchase it,not like online shopping right? plus,there would be charges in cases of shipping from one place to another. yeah,when online shopping you can't touch the merchandise and see it for yourself,there are products that you must simply touch and feel or smell for you to know what's good or not for you and it is really much better to shop in stores rather than shopping online.

I like both. I don't like going out much so buying stuff online is really hassle free. I've bought a couple of times from ebay and all my transactions have been okay. I don't use credit card though. I use paypal or globe gcash (it's an e-wallet technology provided by a telco here in my country). I do buy in shops too, I save much more because it eliminates the shipping fee

I just like to shop on stores as we can see the thing we are purchasing and can make sure that it is worth the money we are spending. There are lesser chances of fraud and the shore has decent liability of the product even after buying it. While in buying online we can't be sure of the product we are purchasing, the shipping sometimes takes more time than expected. And there are more cases of credit cards being misused. But for the things like buying online services we have to rely upon online services as there is no other way of doing it.

I guess it depends on the person. Me, i like to shop online. They have more to chose form, better prices and most times shipping is free over a certin amount. AS far as security reason, i don't really worry about that cause i use paypal to purchase anything online. I very rarely shop at the mall unless it's something i need at that current time or just dont feel like waiting to get it in the mail. If you look at it malls and department stores are over priced and 9 out of 10 times you can't find your size or they dont have you size. I've been to online stores and found the same clothes for a cheaper price or even found clothes that the store didn't sell on the shelf.

Hello there ! In my case it depends. If I already know about the product and if a trust the seller or the selling portal, I prefer buying online as it saves time and transportation cost. Also, you can buy it any time, don't need to worry about traffic or crowded stores. If I am looking for a new product, I prefer going to the store, search for it , compare it with similar products and pick my choice. These days, online shopping has increased to a great extent,thanks to those networks providing trusted sites. Regards, Ash

I prefer to shop at a store. I love to browse and see things. You never know what you might find to laugh at or be perplexed by. Most importantly, though, I can actually see and touch what I am purchasing. If it is something like clothes or shoes, I can try them on before buying. It's not worth the hassle to me to purchase something like that online only to have to send it back. To the most part, I only purchase things like flowers for special occasions and makeup that I am familiar with online. I will also purchase throuh EBay because you can find some amazing deals there and it is pretty secure.

Well yeah, I prefer shopping at store too. The reasons for that are quite similar to yours: I want to see the item I am buying for myself, live. If it's a piece of clothing I want to try it out and see if it fits me. I am also quite superstitious towards the credit card system, I am afraid that something can go wrong and I'll lose my funds.

It depends on what I am going to buy. I very much prefer to try clothes and apparels before buying, therefore, buying from the stores. Other than that, I like shopping online for anything. Even for clothings, if I am buying a brand that I know well, then I have no problem buying online. I like the simplicity of online shopping. As for security of credit card, my opinion is that there is more chance of stealing chance available when they handle the card themselves (no option of putting your cards in then key in your pin then take the card out yourself in India, you have to hand it to the shopkeeper or the person at the counter to swipe your cards). I think online stores (at least the ones that use secure processor) are much more safe. I don't do emergency shopping online as you have to wait for the goods to be delivered. I understand that some shops offer 24 hours guaranteed delivery, which is again not available in India. In case of emergency, I run to the store.

I prefer to shop in a store rather on-line. Though I had a few hints already in shopping safely on-line, i'd still prefer to shop physically where i can see and touch the product and give my money at the same time I get the merchandise. Though we can do this through COD. I feel much safer in dealing and buying in a store.

I actually prefer to shop online since, call me lazy but, it is far easier to scroll down a list of items than it is to walk down an isle. I think that online shopping is actually pretty safe if buy though the correct sites (ex. Amazon). My buying items online doesn't include food and drinks of course, I go out to the store for those

i like BOTH! i love staying home sometimes and just looking at clothes online. but sometimes getting out and shopping is nice:)
