What do you prefer? Online shopping or store shopping?

I prefer both. If I found out that it's cheaper to order online. Then I'll buy it online, but if I found out that it's cheaper in-store, then I'll go to the store! There are even times that there are freebies in the store when you buy one! Just like a phone. When you buy a phone in a store you'll get lots of freebies and when you buy it from an online store you'll not get freebies.

@tech40 I prefer going to stores so I can see the item in person and try it on before I buy it. I need to know if it looks good on me so going to a store is what I prefer.

@Hannihar Oh you don't have an online store that is exclusive from your country?

You're right. There are products can't be seen in the stores! I'm glad we have an online store that open doors for those people who doesn't have money to rent the place in the mall

It's pretty convenient to buy online since you just browse and you could compare prices right on your phone/PC and choose the item you need. But there are times that it is more safer to deal with a real store since you can touch and test the merchandise itself to be sure you buy that is right for you. You cannot do that online. So there are items you can buy online conveniently but some items needs to be sure so you buy offline and go to the store to really check it out.

@tech40 Although they have it, there are times its better to see it and test it before you buy. I had a case before that I relied pretty much on the picture and realise that they were selling only a portion of that picture and not the whole package in the picture so from now on when I buy online I read every bit of the detail since the put in pictures that would entice you to buy because you though all that you see in the picture is included.

@MALUSE Yeah those are the things you need to buy on a regular store but there are those that are confident enough that buy online. They just make sure they know the size of their feet. But still I won't buy online with shoes for other items that are hard to find on regular stores then I go to online because most of the times those rare items are available online.

You're right and I'm so glad that they have internet tutorials or reviews how we can use the gadget. It's very useful especially when we buy an item online and we don't know how to use it

You're right! I bought a phone online too and I didn't get any freebies or anything and I felt that I lose something

@Alexandoy Right! I bought my laptop in stores too since it cost a lot and it's hard to depend gadget that cost a lot in just an online store.

You're right! It has advantages and disadvantages especially when we don't want to go out since it'll take time and there are times that those products aren't available in the physical stores

I like shopping in person, but sometimes it's easier and less expensive to shop on line.

You're right. Especially for appliances. It's hard to depend on online stores because most of their products get damaged from the shipment

I will say that i love going physically. Especially to stores like Victoria's secret. As for online shopping i go on amazon to get things i can't find in a store. Like if i want a certain poster. Amazon always has all types of designs for things.
