what do you prefer shopping online or shopping on malls? For me I will going on malls so I can personally choose what is best for me and I can assure that my money is safe. I know that online shopping is hassle free and can save money for the fare and food. But it is risky if you shop online there is a possibility that you might scam,, or yes she is legit but they will ship you wrong item. I encountered once, I already scammed but it is a load worth 150 pesos.
Then one I want to buy a second hand gadget worth 2500 pesos, someone sent me a personal message that offering me a gadget that suits my budget. I almost sent him the payment, but I ask first for his legitimacy then someone leave a comment that he is a scammer. Then he blocked me, hahaha. Thank God that He enlightened me, 2500 pesos is a big amount. So if you want to buy online ask first for her/his legitimacy.

I do enjoy shopping online because you can find really unique things there and you can also get good bulk deals there as well. However if I'm looking for something to do then I would rather go shopping at a mall. When you go shopping out in public at a mall it's just more entertaining and you can find things that might catch your interest that you wouldn't have found out about other wise.

I still prefer to go shopping at the malls. There is a different excitement in the malls that can easily reduce stress. Like most females, I love shopping but I certainly want to try the piece of clothing in case it does not look good on me. I also prefer to try on shoes for size especially if I have to pay a good sum for it. I don't want my hard earned money to go to waste. Perhaps, it is also nice to order from online shops but definitely not clothing. I have tried ordering bags once and I was quite satisfied with the results.

I prefer both and it depends. For nail art kit, beauty products and some clothing items I prefer buying online since I can't find it on malls near my place. I also like purchasing load online so I can have a discount. I have list of legit suppliers so I am confident buying from them.
For gadgets, even legit suppliers can turn out a scammer. I bought one and the supplier was so nice during the transaction but when I got the item she became the opposite. She shipped an item that is not the exact cellphone I want. She produced fake photos of the gadget. Since then I never order gadgets online no matter how legit they are.
For shoes and eyewear, I prefer buying on mall stores.

I would personally go for shopping in malls if i were to buy shoes or clothing. However, I also do use online shopping for those electronic or household items which is quite straight-forward.
I would say that online shopping on trustable websites such as ebay, amazon and etc does not worry me at all because we are protected and if you use PayPal for payment you can be assured that you are also protected with your money because if the seller turns out to be a scammer, withing 30-days you can file a complaint to PayPal to get your money back.

I have never experience doing some online shopping though I do take a look sometimes on a shopping sites and I find some items and products attractive specially dresses and gadgets but I am afraid that I might not like it personally so until now I am thinking twice on buying in an online shop and besides now a days there are lots of scammers everywhere so I think for me I will still go to a mall and buy what I want..

I prefer going to the mall but what I normally do is to check for items that i want to buy online. Example, if I want to buy a cell phone. I will check all models and prices on the internet. I also read reviews about the products to make sure that they are of good quality. Once I already made up my mind on a particular brand and model, then I go to the mall to look for it.

I personally prefer shopping in the mall. I still find the whole online buying process a bit worrisome. I suppose that you could call me a skeptic but I just want to make sure that my money gets what it's worth. I love shopping in the mall because I get to see the product itself. I don't have to second guess if it would really fit me. I love how I can try the clothes on. I get to see if it really is for me since there are a lot of clothes that might look good in pictures but not really on me once I wear them. I also like shopping in the mall better since I get to try on the colors. I'll never know how compatible I am with a color until I personally try it on. :)

I like both ha ha there some good discounts offered only online and it's accessible but then there are some items better to be seen in person and to be fit which suits well such as sun glasses and shopping on malls can be fun spending with somebody and enjoyable to stroll shopping
