I've had a bad experience in online shopping where I was being cheated so I personally feel that online shopping is not my kind of a thing ............shopping in the malls and shops allows you to meet new people which we do not get in online shopping but if we do not have time that is okay .............but I do not prefer online shopping ................what do you think??????

It is hard to say which shopping way is better, as they both have advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, online shopping means time-saving and more discount, but the disvantage is that you don't know if the item you want to buy is the exact one you need. for real shopping, you don't need to worry too much about this, as well as the qulaity, color and other factors. But that means you have to spend more time and energy. So which one is better? It depends on different people's views.

I would love to shop online too but like you I am afraid to be ripped off but of course you must be very careful when shopping online. I still prefer to go shopping at malls or shops because you get to fit the things(shoes, dress, tops etc) first before buying it but with online you can't do that. Also you get to see/feel the type of cloth you're going to buy. Share your concern on www.lifo.com where girls get to share their tips on beauty and fashion.

My idea that the great spreading of internet increase the online shopping as will as peoples buzzy, but shopping in the malls and shops are more interisting for most people if they have a time for that

I have good and bad both kinda experience with doing online shopping. but i still prefer to do online shopping, as online shopping make it possible or easy to buy everything without wondering in malls or real shopping store. But i prefer to shop at only reliable web store. Nowadays i use to visit at http://indiaemporium.com , where i first time stumble through facebook. I've asked for my demand product at http://www.facebook.com/indiaemporium and get that site ref for shopping cart my product. I like that web store customer deal and services in India. So, nowadays i use this site to shop whatever i need.

online is good for finding good deals on certain items, but it still is good to go into a store and see something before you buy it though.

I bought several items online and I have not experience any trouble at all. Online shopping is only convenient for the fact you don't have to leave your home but it is also needs and demands much attention. I bought my laptop online but it took me several hours before I commit myself buying it. I have to go in details the specs and other things such as delivery and shipping, payments mode and warranty. Because oyu are buying something that is not seen by you, one must be very careful so that you won't get cheated. So far I am satisfied with my items bought. I still prefer off line buying but its cheaper when you buy it online because there are lots of freebies that seller gives to attract buyers.

I do not have a preference. I love that I find great deals online and that I can shop from my home. But I like going to the mall and trying on the clothes. I guess it just depends on my mood. I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Don't let it stop you from trying again!

I do think everything has two sides, bad and good point exist.if you want to shop more convenient and cheaper,you can try the online shopping.But be sure to find a reliable one to order.maybe you can get the goos source from your friends.IN any way,real shopping even though needs more time to spend. but you can touch the item by your hands.So you can just consider my words.

Welcome to Mylot Jay! I go for online shopping if i am after hard-to-find music CDs or books. Clothes and shoes are a lot better to shop on real.

I like both and I shop online and offline. Online, I buy a lot of make up products (you are not going to receive any surprises!) and clothes (you have tons of clothes to choose and if I don't like, I sell again). But, if it's something more expensive (like TV, notebooks, IPAD..), I prefer to buy in a real store, because if there's some problem with the product, it's a lot more easy to exchange.
