what do you think about buying on the internet?

Hi & Hello my friend Ailence. I do think about buying online is something need to have as we are now very busy offline and have to catch up our life schedule on daily basis. In fact on weekend very busy with our family life. You are very lucky and fortunate as the seller/merchant was kind enough to you and showed that he is a real good businessman. To me I am comfortable with online, just like I bought my computer. Even though the price might be higher compare to offline, but for me the warranty and guarantee plus their service-after-sales is what I am looking at as my priority. HAPPY DAPPY.

Most of the time ,it is wonderful!but sometimes it really troubles.Take clothes for example,the photo of the clothes have been PSed,you can't see the really colour of them.And the material,you can't feel it!the most worried thing is the size,always large or small!Never suit me!

i guess got to be first sure from where u r buying ur products-whether it is genuine or not is important!i buy things from ebay which is quite genuine and trust worthy.and sometimes u come across a good deal.

Transactions in the internet is very easy and fast specially if your looking for hard to find items. the drawback is you will be cheated by the seller or you will not get the right item because there no time to verify it first personally before buying the item. My transactions online are all great because I only transact to a person who are available for meet ups. ^^

buying products in the net is not bad but the only thing about it once the product you purchased is delivered to you..you dont know if there a missing quantity or broken when shipped yo you..you just dont know i still prefer having it in a real store.. i can choose and see

Hi,there! I've also bought many things in 'taobao'. I think it really depends on different sellers. Some of the things are not as good as what it was described online. But some owners are very honest and tell everything before we buy the things. I think at any time we should be prudent when we buy things online.We'd better observe more about the stores online. We can take a look at the comment that customers made for the store.If the store has a good reputation,then it's more reliable. I hope you'll get good product online next time. Good luck:)

Oh that too bad, I think it is a bit risky buying clothes on the internet as even in the stores it is wise to try some things on, sizes can be so different, and you are right things can look better in photos, I hope you find something somewhere that you like...

Sometimes it pays (literally) to email or contact the seller with some relevant questions before buying. Me being way down under in New Zealand I used to always email questions to online stores in UK, USA and ebay. Relevant questions are: Cost of insurance and shipping options - can it be tracked online?, what type of shipping - standard, surface mail, etc, and the expected delivery date. Maybe ask for the manufacturer's/brand name for the item, including any model/serial numbers and it's origin and materials used. This will give you specific information, that you maybe able to review online to get some idea of the item's quality and reputation. Also general questions, such as warranties, possible replacements, local customer support, item description/guidleines/manuals, contact details, and so on. Sometimes even ring them - This is what I use to do for credit card details and more specific questions...

Well,I think such things do not happen all the time. Taobao is a good place to buy things. I have bought many things from it. Very conveniet.

Hmm.. Being prudent is not bad.. But I think, that as long as you like what you are buying, and you do know the website thoroughly, I think its not that bad...
