I like shopping online because you can find almost anything, but I like shopping in normal stores because then you can be sure that what you are getting will fit you and is not damaged and is exactly what you want to get.

Would you prefer beauty products shopping online? If yes, then I have two sites specially targeting shoppers who look for beauty products. They are - http://astore.amazon.com/beafra-20 http://beautyfrag.blogspot.com

I prefer shopping online. I can compare prices between sites easier and take my time making decisions. Some things one must still do in a physical store, like trying on clothes which I hate. I have managed to find some really good deals for my handmade toiletries and aromathearpy stuff using ebay and comparing the prices there to sites outside of ebay.

I prefer to do normal shopping if that's what you call it. I don't really trust online shopping actually. Because I can't see the real thing that I'm buying. Who knows? It might be some lousy product when I actually set my eyes on it. The pictures on the Internet could be modified to make the item look very nice and attractive. Normal shopping is fun! I like walking around in the shopping mall and browsing in the shops. That's the joy of shopping. Much more fun than sitting in front of the computer and buying something that I can't touch to see how it really is.

I like normal but Window shopping. Online shopping is never fully safe, and is the ideal place where cheaters can make money. But it could be the worst place for all buyers. I have bought things online a few times, but never got complete satisfaction. I felt being a bit cheated each time. But while window shopping, I go to another world of varities and interests. I love spending hours in selecting and buying things like food and grocery items, and toilet items. It is alkways a nice experience, and almost completely safe.

I definately prefer online shopping.It's much more convenient. I don't have to worry about going out in bad weather ,putting up with the long lines,fighting for parking space,putting up with rude customers,etc.I don't go to stores unless I have to,if I can buy the product online,I will.I find that I save alot more money online too

Since you prefer online shopping, I would suggest you two great online shopping sites for shopping exclusively for beauty products. They are http://astore.amazon.com/beafra-20 & http://beautyfrag.blogspot.com If you like them, then you can bookmark them for posterity.

I prefer shopping in stores. This way I will be able to check the quality and material of the stuff that I am buying. I can also fit clothes if I wish to.

I prefer to shop normally like going to malls or grocery stores since all the choices are there,shopping also in the malls makes you feel relaxed and enjoyoble.

Shopping online is very convienent, but you do lose some of the fun of the actual shopping experience! I do tend to shop alot online. In fact I just purchased living room furniture online. I just couldn't find as good of a deal in person as I did online.

I do both. Whoever can give me the better deal or benefit from buying the item. If I had to pick just one then give me online shopping. I would prefer totally work from home so shopping would compliment that greatly. Am an odd shopper anyway, since I have bought the majority of our clothing and kitchen items etc from Church Rummage sales. Books from Library Book Sales.

I also prefer normal shopping. At times clothes and other things which we get online really look good on the computer screen but then when you try them they turn out to be not so good and it also takes time to get to you. But with normal shopping its instant happiness... lol!

Shopping online is nice, I mean you can even find some really great prices. However, the only thing I have with online shopping is you really can't get all hands on with the product you want to buy. You can only see a picture or two and that's it. For the most part, I like examining the product in the store. However, if it's a book or something, something that doesn't have a lot of components, I'll buy it online without a second thought.

I know that online shopping is easier than the normal shopping because you get to see a lot of things to shop when you're online. You don't have to go to these places, stores and malls to get one. BUt for me, it doesn't help at the moment. FIrst and foremost, I haven't tried that yet. Plus, my friends would always tell me that it's quite risky especially if you shop from sites like ebay, etc. Because you have to deposit your money first before you can actually have those products at hand. You can only see these products online. Since I'm not yet ready for this, that's why I would still go for normal shopping. :) But I know eventually I'm gonna learn to do online shopping very soon especially if i'm able to have pc at y apartment already. :)

I do both online and normal shopping. For Online shopping, I will only do it if I know the product or service that I am buying. For things that I am not sure how it would look like, I will prefer normal shopping to feel and see personally the products befor paying for it.

i prefer normal shopping. normal shopping is convenient than online shopping. we can do conversations with the shoppers and we can clarify doubts if we have. online shopping is also good but if we have any doubts,there is no medium to clarify.
