I shop more in the stores than online. I do shop online though if i do know the store im shopping in onine and my size that i will need. I would only shop at stores that i am familiar with and kno wmy size in that store. I buy other things online as well, furniture, presents, Etc. Ff you shop online what do you buy? Do you prefer to shop online or in the store and why?

i go to malls, store, shops when i want to buy things like dress, shoes and accesories. it is much better than buying online, coz you can draw attention to details like sizes, color, and the fitting.. at shops you can find big discounts and you dont have to pay for delivery charges. hehehe plus you get to exercise by walking around the mall..

The answer is Blatant..i'd say----in stores. I like online shopping, but i'd do that as a window shopping. Besides, I cant be so sure about the product description, so I'd rather get into stores and check out everything-from Quality to color.

I shop online (preferably) because I am not a fan of retail prices @ walmart. They sell xBox controllers for 59.99 there while on ebay I can get it for $45.00 with free shipping and handling still in its case brand new never opened, with that factory smell. :P It may be cheaper, but the time to wait might be a while, but it's totally worth it since some things you buy online are hard to find compared to the store. I you're trying to find some legit stiff from who knows what, then get it online. But buyer beware. When I shop online, I buy 'essentials', like games, accessories, clothing (with tags at a discounted price), and random stuff off of eBay with a good calculation of the price before I purchase it, otherwise I'd be paying triple the amount it's worth... O_o I also purchase hiphop beats for my career thing I'm doing. ^_^ I only go to an actual store if I'm buying food, some clothes, random essentials, or preordering games from things so I won't have to wait for the store to restock it while it is out on its release date. :D I buy manga stuff from oriental import stores. :P I've been trying to purchase other things online like stuff for theatrical purposes but they're too expensive for my liking...

i usually dont shop for clothes on line. I rather shop in the store so I can like try it on se how it really fits on me. I think the whole process of returning clothes online would be just a waist of time when all you can do is just go to the store. I shop for books, accessories and etc mostly online. i check ebay and amazon first before i make a purchase

I perfer shopping in stores so I can see what I am buying and to get out of the house. Plus I think its easier if you need to return the item also.

I shop online for anything I can't find locally. I also shop online for convenience because it saves me time looking and gas money driving around. You can often get better deals online as well.
