Until now, i have not bought any products such as books, stationary, T-shirts, shoes etc before. I only bought products like website domain names and web hosting in the past 2 years lol. In other words, i still don't really like to shop online. How about you guys?

The first time I heard about shop online, I really interested in that and wanna buy many things. But now I don't have a plan to even try it,, because I think its' not safe. We don't know the merchants and after read so many horror stories (things not arrive, wrong payment and credit card issue) about shop online I lost all my interest in shopping online. I only do upgrade in some sites and never but things such as books, clothes, bags or shoes.. If I really need to buy something, I prefer go to department store or other shop in my city.. I can see and touch all the things before buy it, compare the price with other shop and have more choices.. plus, I can do a little exercise by walking around the mall and shop there I think all department store , malls and book stores in my county already enough for me^^,, Hey, you live in Singapore right? I heard about many place to shop in your country^^,, I'm sure you don't need to shop online if you just wanna find books, stationary or clothes..

Really? So this is the first time I know why many people prefer to shop online.. So the price is more expensive if you buy directly in your country.. Thanks for the info.. If you buy things directly, don't need to pay shipping tax right? So even without shipping tax the price still more expensive? hmm.. My aunt love to shop in Singapore during new year sale there.. She said the discount and the things is good..

well, this one really depends on the season. If it's great Singapore sale, then it will be cheaper than you buy online i think. Otherwise, buying things online maybe cheaper. You may have to pay for shipping fee even though it's within Singapore, depends which type of items that you bought

yea~ Singapore's things are quite expensive. Sometimes, shopping online maybe a good choice since it's cheaper

Yes, actually I do like to shop online. But not for things like food or clothes. I much prefer to shop for those things in person. But for books, CDs, movies, and even gifts for others, it's fun to shop online when I can. I find such a wider range of products to consider.

yup, in fact it's much easier and faster. Depending on whether you trust online shopping or not. People like me may not find it's too interesting lol

I have never actually bought anything online. I have been afraid that something will get screwed up in the payment department and then one day I will go to lunch and realize that my entire account has been drained haha
