Do you think that referring for the price of products online is accurate?

Most of the time I will check prices of the stuff I want to buy on some websites before I go to buy at shop. I feel that the price online is quite expensive. Buying stuff online is quite risky too. So, I feel that it is not woth it to buy stuff at higher price onlie because it has higher risk.
So, what do you think? Do you buy stuff online? Do you always receive the products you buy?

Hi sdas. I agree with you. Once I bought a selection of CDs online and receive another kind of CDs. It was a headache to get the right CDs from the site. It took about 3 weeks. I never more buy anything online for sure. And the prices are highter too.
Have a good day.

Personally!! Nope!!! I never experience buying stuff online but my hubby, yes he always buy things online and I remember only once he returned the item because the send the wrong one. But so far every time he purchase he is satisfied with the stuff, Just only once that he returned the item. yes it is risky to buy things
online.

I buy some things on line. Usually around Christmas time is when I tend to buy more things on line. Since there is usually a shipping fee when you buy something on line then a lot of times you save more money buying things in person at the store. So far I have never had a problem with getting my items delivered to me in the mail.

I also don't like to buy products online because we can't trust them and we don't know how our credit card numbers are used and how much they will charge.
So i never bought anything online. We can trust some websites like DELL and others because they are trust worthy but other site are not like that.

Hi, yes I agree. Its vey risky to buy products online especially if its of a high value. Though I shop online here in a local buy and sell website, but still when I decide to buy the item, I always request for a meet-up in a safe place where I could check the item first if its authentic. And of course, no item, no pay rule must be followed.

I don't know how true the on line prices are but I do check and then try to call and verify the price when I get a really good one.

I dissuade myself from buying online for the simple reason that buying, paying&then not finding the product upto the mark and looking all the time for a clause whether the product has a trial and full refund facility. Even thereafter there is aapprehension in the mind whether I am getting value for my money.Therefore it is always advisable to go to the authorised product shop and buy it with full warantee and guarantee and be assured of refund in case of any defect.Although the same yardstick cannot be applied to a Bose music system when you decide to buy it on line.I for sure shop(window shop) online and ascertain the prices of the products I am interested in and then look for a stand alone authorised shop or go round the various shopping malls in the city.I once bought a mobile on line and am still regretting the decision.So it is always safer to do window shopping online and buy it from a shop yourself.
