We almost can purchase anything from the internet, online shopping place. With the convenience of credit cards, and shipping. We can shop without going out of our doors. But we do not really buy everything online, aren't we? So, what kind of stuff do you avoid to buy from the internet?

I try to avoid purching very expensive items. Items such as a lab top or t.v sterro. I buy only things that can fit into my mailbox.

i second that scififan.. tv's don't fit in the mailbox so it makes no sense to order that online unless the store is close or it delivers it to your door with its own delivery people. i don't even trust ups with a tv delivery but a laptop is fine. but the tv delivery depends on the size. can't be too huge. but other than something very valuable that i can't get in the stores then something smaller or less of value i may have to because of convenience.

Hey there! Items that I don't buy online would be electronic appliances or cellphones. I would like to go to the store myself to try and test the product. It is risky to buy electronic appliances online because the product that you might receive might be of less quality. Have a nice day. Happy posting!!

Anything really expensive or things that need specific or unique codes to work properly. I don't really trust online shopping. I'd rather lose a little money than a lot. If I really want to buy something that is expensive I will do the research online but go to a store to purchase the item. I have been scammed before on ebay and it is not fun!

I try to avoid buying clothes online because I hate having to return things that don't fit. Unfortunately though sometimes I find things online that I can't find in the store and end up having to purchase it online anyways.
