Online shopping craze!

A lot of my friends are so addicted to this online shopping habit. Indeed, when I checked it for myself, it was very convenient, accessible, and even very affordable compared to the shops and boutiques in malls. It is all in there! You browse, choose what you will buy, fill up an order form, pay, and in a matter of days you have your prized possessions in front of your door. I was able to find good ones in multiply.com, and in facebook. There are a lot of online sellers selling about everything! From new apparels down to pre-loved items, and even from what we call 'ukay-ukay', a term for relief goods being sold. From shoes to beauty products, you can find a good bargain with just one click away! The only drawback is that there are trust issues. You have to trust one another, the seller and the buyer (which is you) as well. There are a number of bogus buyers as much as bogus sellers lurking online. Another thing is that you have to know your 'dimensions' because you cannot fit an item, say, clothing apparels, before you pay for it. How can you? It is posted as pictures only! But I can really say that online shopping is where you can find GOOD, PLEASING, EXTRAORDINARY and UNIQUE designs. sometimes if you are lucky enough, comes in a good price.

I love online shopping for one thing - I can do this at home. I always feel stressed out when I have to go to malls since lots of people are there and I feel really lost. When it comes to online shopping I can sit comfortably in front of screen not caring how my hair look, in pajamas and with a cup of tea. It's really convenient. But once I start browsing through online shops I lose track of time. I can do this for hours untill my family will peel me off the screen. One of my favourite online shops is gmarket since they have so many lovely clothes there. I never know what to buy because I like everything. The only drawback of this site is that shipping prices are quite expensive.
