I always do online shopping. I find it cheaper than the mall price. It is because online business owners will usually reduce their profit margin to get more customers. Online shopping has become a popular shopping method ever since the internet. There are many advantages of online shopping; this is the reason why online stores are a booming business today. Another reason is that you can easily browse through dozens of different websites to find the best price. You can do the same at a mall, but it would take about an hour or longer.
Shopping online is convenient. You don’t need to get dressed and drive to your favorite store. You can easily visit their website, find the product you want and buy it without getting out of your pajamas. It’s also convenient because you don’t need to wait for the store to open. If you work irregular hours or are very busy, then you probably don’t have the time to visit the store. Shopping online allows you to buy things without hurting your schedule.
However, if you are one of those shoppers who want to touch, see, and test the product personally, at online shopping, you are not able to do so. Online stores are only showing product description and photos of the merchandise, which can be a disadvantage for many online shoppers. Unlike buying at retail stores, you are able to use the product instantly after you buy it, which can be satisfying.
The Disadvantages of Shopping Online. Sometimes a deal that looks great falls short of what has been advertised. Communicating dissatisfaction can be difficult online and often takes enormous patience and tenacity to achieve satisfaction. Problem-solving face-to-face with local store employees is often faster and more satisfying. Online shopping requires patience to wait for the item to arrive at your doorstep about 2 to 3 days or even longer depending on the location you've ordered it from.
