now days many people love to shop from e-shopping web sites through internet. there are some benefits as well as as disadvantages also. but is there any chance that e-shopping will affect the business of direct shop owners? just place your opinion what you like most? online shopping or directly shopping from malls.

Well i think online shopping will take over direct shopping in the years to come, but some people will prefer to shop directly. But for me i will go with both. Just look at it this way, you are at home, then you can order online but when your on the streets and you have to get that one pasta for dinner then you will shop directly. So that's why i will stick with both.

People could be very busy and tired from work that some would opt to shopping online instead. But I think that internet shopping can replace the malls that we love to go to. If I were to choose, I would still want to buy things directly from the store so that I would know if it is of quality before I purchase it.

This question is just like whether the e-books will replace the normal books. Although the online stores are quite popular today. I am also one of the people who enjoy shopping online and I am am a VIP for some online stores. But I don't think the normal shopping malls will be replaced. As sometimes I regard it as fun to go shopping with my family. After shopping, we can have a nice meal etc. And it is still better to buy some products in the malls. Such as the ice-cream, cheese etc.

Hi E-shopping is not yet very popular nowadays. A majority of the population still shop the old-fashioned way, going down to the local store and buy something with cash, going home with the goods. In fact, the same populace are not even aware that anyone can buy/sell something online. I personally feel more comfortable shopping the old way. Online and the postal system here don't warrant over all costumer satisfaction, not to mention the long wait and the untested item until it is received. Then there's the problem of having it sent back if I am not satisfied, another long wait, another extra cost. It's not just for me.

I think in the near future it is possible. Because online shopping sites provide stuffs for discount price from m.r.p. But shopping malls are not like that. So there is a chance for that.
