Do you prefer online shopping or shopping in malls?

I like to shop in the malls more than online because I get to really see the outfits or the things that I want to buy, whereas when I do it online, I don't really know how big the item is or what it really looks like, sure I get a picture, but what if it has problems or something wrong with it, then I wouldn't know that it did. I just really like to go to the mall. There is just something about the mall that you can't get online.

I prefer to shop for clothes in malls. I like to physically try on the items to see if it looks good on me and sizes vary depending on brand so it is easier to just go to the store. Also, online, you have to deal with shipping expenses and it is such a pain.. however once in a while they may have a sale and have free shipping then I may consider.. As of technology, I like to go to Costco, sometimes I buy them online encase I do not like the item, costco has a good return policy.. other technology I prefer buying online because I can read reviews and see what I like.. technology is not like clothes so it's easier :)

I still prefer shopping to the mall. I am quite scared shopping online or on the net because of fraudulent sellers or quality of the products. Another reason is that, I cannot rely on to what I see and what the seller say about the product. Unlike when you are in the mall, you can test them or fit them, plus, there is a warranty for change orders.

I like both and I tend not to compare the two, as they're very much different although the same it's just the way I look at it. I miss being able to see the product in person, that's something which makes the high street powerful over online shops but I like to be able to walk around without stress and in a busy shopping center they're always people who are annoying and thoughtless sadly.

I do both, online shopping and offline shopping, but I have to say I prefer offline shopping. I like to see things before I buy them. I am a visual person. I also like to try things on before I buy them too because I don't always wear the same size. For example, my jeans range from a size 8 to 10 depending on the fit. And my tops, well, I am fairly big busted so I have a problem with tops so to buy them online would be fruitless for me, I would be returning more than I would be keeping. So I do need to try on my clothes before buying them. I know some people buy their food online but I don't agree with paying a delivery charge when I can just go to the store and get my food myself. I also like to see the prices of things to compare and online you don't get as many choices. I am..again...a visual person so I like to be able to pick things up and look at them. I do buy some things online though. Every month I buy a detox tea from a site. They mail it to me every month and just charge it on my visa. I also have purchased a few things from ebay but most of the time it turns out to be just junk, like really cheap jewelry. Cheers my friend, Chris

I like both. It just depends on the price. I like the rush of looking around for the best price.

It depends what I am going to buy. If I want to buy something big or expensive, then I will buy it from the malls or department stores. At least it will be a real store. As I can check the products I am going to buy. Since it is much more expensive, I have to be careful. And if the product is big and heavy, I have to buy it from the department store because they will delivery to my home free of charge. If I buy it online, I have to pay for the delivery fee and it may not be worth. Usually I like to buy tickets, toys, books etc. online because I am not worried about it. I love China

In the act of shopping itself, I prefer online shopping. I don't know why. I find myself choosing a lot more things I want to buy online than if I were shopping in the mall. I've bought everything online from swimsuits to tops, to bottoms, gadgets and shoes. Accessories too! I find it's easier since I don't have to walk around, must be because I'm lazy. :D But sometimes I end up buying stuff online that don't fit me that well so I don't get to wear them and I just waste my money. So I'm more strict on myself when I buy online. If there's a slight chance that I'm not sure if it'll fit me perfectly, I don't buy it and opt to look for an equivalent in the mall instead. Price-wise, I would keep an eye on the item I want to buy online and find the time to research how much it sells in the mall. Then I buy the cheaper one.

I prefer to buy clothing in the malls, but other things I prefer to buy online. I always read what other people's experiences have been with a product or a vendor. I've found that I spend a lot less time returning products because I have a better understanding of what my money is going for. Also, online, there are multiple opportunities for discounts, such as rebate sites, free shipping, lower prices that apply only online, etc.

Shopping in malls all the way. Thats how U find the REAL BARGAINS!lol

i haven't tried shopping online but it makes me worry since most of the people that i have encountered had problems with the site they have purchased some goods. i'd rather buy in the malls than give my money to a shop online that doesn't have a physical store at all...

I prefer SHOPPING IN MALLS. I feel we lack what the fellow human's taste while shopping online. and the waiting time for the thing to reach us. whereas while shopping at malls, we can relax also, by seeing people around. and compare price of the same brand in different stores. some time gifts to choose while purchasing to certain limit. in the malls we can feel the products physically is an advantage i feel.

I do prefer shopping in malls. Grabing things in your hands and seeing them in real is more exciting than picking them online. But i do like buying electronics more online than shops.

For me it doesn't really depend on the product but on the season. :D I buy a lot more things online when it's cold, rainy and stormy outside, I just hate leaving the house in winter so I'm buying most of my stuff on the internet.

i prefer to shop in malls rather than online... i like to be able to see and touch the product that i am going to buy first before i am willing to spend my money... unless if the online price is much more cheaper than in shop for the same item, then of course i will buy online... otherwise, i rarely shop online except for my airline tickets... :-) take care and have a nice day...

shopping in malls.. i don't like buying clothes without trying it on. i don't like buying products aside from clothes without reading it's pack or seeing it in person. i've tried doing so and i regretted it.

Shopping in malls is a very social way to shop. Online shopping is very convenient. if given the choice, i like to online shop more.

Seems like its 50/50 some like malls for certain reasons and others online.. I have to fall into this catagory .. the online deals are great but then you have to wait till it ships and not being able to try on the cloths sucks.. but the malls sometimes have god deals and you can actually touch that it is your buying and take it home the same day.. great now i want to go buy something...

I perfer to buy online. I don't like going to the mall and being around hundreds of people. I find it more comfortable to do my shopping in the comfort of my own home. Sometimes prices online are cheaper than what you can find in a physical store so that is a plus too.

I prefer shopping in malls because it is more convenient for me to do that. Moreover, shopping in malls gives me chances to accurately assess the products i want to buy. And for the last reason that i prefer to go to malls to shop is that i can make some bargain for what i decide to buy.
