The World WIde Web is not only a source of information but it is also a virtual shopping mall for consumers everywhere. It is no wonder why people shop online these days, rather than going to a shopping mall. Imagine shopping from your comfort of your own home at anytime of the day, without having to get dressed and endure severe traffic congestion just to get to a shopping mall.

though until now, i havent shop online for anything. but i'm preparing for shopping online soon. cause i feel it brings me some convenience. first of all, i neednt go out to the mall with my heels, , second, some of the goods online are much cheaper than that in the malls. but i must find the site who can assure the quality.

The good side with online shopping too is that you can shop around for the cheapest price on something between hundreds of stores, whereas at the shops there may only be 1 or 2 that sell the thing that you want. Amazon is very good to buy from online :)

I love shopping online because i dont have to go out in the car, find somewhere to park, get my daughter and the buggy out and try to get around all of the crowds in town. Its so much easier for me. I would say i do my majoirty of online shopping during the christmas period, otherwise its a 50/50 split. I dont buy my groceries online though, i do like to go to the supermarket for that.

I like shopping on line for clothes in my outsize but sometimes you really need to try things on so its sort of a toss up. you are comfortable in your home but if the garment doesnt fit then you wish you had gont to a store to try things on.either way it has its good points and its bad points. hatley here.

I agree, its also one of the disadvantage of shopping online ( it doesnt fit you perfectly ) but that doesnt stop me for shopping online hehe..

Shopping is a must - A lot of shopping bags means a good day of shopping
I would believe shopping online is a lot easier until you buy something that is the wrong size or just having to return something would be a hassle. I think going to the mall sometimes is a lot easier, i do shop online at stores i shop at in the mall as i do know my sizes with certain brands and then i don't have to go to the mall and deal with the people even though it is a lot easier to go to the mall during the day on the weekdays instead of on the weekends. I like to shop and am always looking on line for coupons to use in stores or just something to get a discount. I can see a lot of handicap people who can't walk and needs to buy presents for people around holidays doing it online as it is a lot easier and it not so hard for them. If i were handicap and couldn't get to eh mall i would shop online and enjoy it too.
