I have been checking stuff online lately. Nowadays online shopping is the way to go. Honestly, I have over a 109 items on my cart just waiting for me to check them out but I don’t. I patiently wait for vouchers to be available so I don’t have to pay for shipping.
It is so convenient to purchase online yet at times
i’m scared that the item is not good as how it is shown on the post. Nevertheless, I will still continue to purchase online because it is convenient and at times more cheaper than going to the stores.
Do you like buying things online? Or do you still prefer going out?

I prefer to buy items on the store since I can get the item I need quickly. On the other hand, if I can buy an item that I need.

Yeah there's a convenience but a big inconvenience.

I do it in the store if its needed right away. But if it is something that will be used later on then I buy it online especially if the price is way cheaper.

@sublime03 I only buy items I need online like writing pens or print cartridges since I do not have the money to buy them in a store since most of my earnings go to my bank.

I prefer actual stores as you can see stuff and touch it and in the case of shoes or clothes try it on. But online there may be more variety and lower prices.

@lovebuglena Same sentiments! I think it really boils down to when do you need the item and if you wanna pay it cheaper.

@sublime03 Though I've never really done this I think, I wouldn't mind trying something on in the store (if clothes or shoes) or looking at an item in person (for non-apparel items) and then if I like it try to find it online for less.

Yes I love to shop online and like you, I have a lot of items in my cart but much lesser than yours. Have you tried grocery shopping online?

I have not tried grocery shopping online because I am very particular with the brands and most of the time its not available online.

@sublime03 I see. What I am doubtful of buying groceries online are the expiration dates. They might just change it and sell it in a cheaper price.

Online shopping is just the regular stores providing information. It is the information that consumers go through then decide to make a purchase. Disputes are settled after the purchase is done.

@misunderstood_zombie if the product is not up to the mark.

Same here, why pay for shipping when you have the alternative of going to the store. I guess it is okay to pay shipping when you are unsure of going out.

I always buy things online. Just check for the seller's rating. It should be fine.

Super important to check ratings. Just take necessary precaution and I think online shopping is pretty much safe.

i guess it's okay if the items aren't urgent.
which online stores do you buy from?
do they have a return/replace policy?

Well there are so many online stores nowadays that it really depends on the item I need. But more important is does it have free shipping or is it worth paying shipping? I’m fine paying for the shipping fee for as long as I have more than 2 items to be shipped.
We seldom have return/replace policy here so it is best to purchase items you hardly need to fit into or items that you are sure of the size or quality.

I love online shopping and it's so fun to get packages in the mail.

That is another reason I love online shopping, you get packages ever so often. I also like unwrapping them like it is a gift of some sort.

If quality is to be considered I would do the same and buy it in a store
