Online shopping

[Honest]

I find it way too tempting. It's a good thing I don't have a credit card, cause I'd probably go broke really fast with the wide selection of goods. xD

Depends entirely on how intensely my want for the item is. If I want it badly enough then I'll track it down in a store, but in most cases I'm content ordering online and waiting for it to arrive. There aren't many things that I want in stores around here, to be honest. Sometimes I'd like to buy a long-forgotten movie or a specific toy for myself or my daughter and the internet's got my back.

lol. The number one thing I always spend my allowance and other money on is always old video games and guide books so I can only get them onlineXD

I buy things online that are a bit hard to find in stores from places like Amazon, occasionally I buy games/Pokemon merchandise online. I hate shopping in stores. It's easier to buy things online, though Im careful not too buy too many things.

I buy a few things online, I find it convenient that I can just purchase what I want from home and expect it the day after. I barely have time to go out to shop besides I dislike being out there in all that rush!

I love online shopping so much *o*

The only thing that bugs me are the shipping prices but I can usually find some really good deals online. I spend a little too much time going through my Amazon wish lists to see if anything's come down in price enough for me to buy.

Plus I love waiting for the mail to come with my package! It's fun when you order multiple things at once and waiting to see which comes first.​

I only online shop on Amazon, no where else. I love Amazon. I prefer to go into a store and buy things though. I use Amazon for stuff that I can't really find anywhere near me. So im not really a huge fan of online shopping. I think it's pretty cool and convenient though.

I rarely buy anything online, since most of what I want I could easily get from a physical location, and then I wouldn't have to deal with shipping charges, either. The only time that I have bought anything online though was a couple of shirts which I couldn't find anywhere else. Shipping out of country costs a pretty penny though (and takes forever), which is the other main reason I stay away from it.

I only buy stuff online when I am birthday or christmas shopping for my daughter and nephews.

As much as this is going to make me seem like a complete Luddite, I really like the immediacy of physically going into a shop and buying something. Even though brick-and-mortar shops are, unfortunately, dying by the day due to those pesky overheads resulting in more expensive goods than online shops, I really like having a look and browsing and seeing what takes my fancy before parting with my hard-earned cash. If I can be bothered to wait, then I'll normally go online due to the significant cost savings; if I can't wait, then I'll just go out and buy it immediately.

The only online buying I do is for materials for cosplay (because really.. I am not going to go to a different city to try and find glow in the dark nailpolish, or other weird materials..) If I need something with delivery (cases of beer too heavy for me to carry home by myself), if there's a deal and I know the products I'm getting (15 off on products from the body shop, for example), or if I can get free shipping and hassle-free returns (like on Asos products.. and I have free next-day delivery with them!)
Or gifts for others I can't find anywhere else, really.

I prefer going out to the shops and browsing the shelves and having the whole shopping experience. The only reason I do online shopping is to buy things that I can no longer buy in stores.

 

[Flushed]

I have no means of transportation, so if I want something I'll buy it online. It comes in handy with preorders and stuff you just don't know where to find.

 

[Ivysaur]

I just go for what's cheaper. If it's online, then online. If it's offline, well, so be it. I don't really enjoy shopping at all so. I'd only reject buying clothes and food online since I'd rather check those by myself. Otehriwse, a book preview in Amazon is as good as any shop would offer, and the search service is much more efficient!

 

[Meganium]

Most of the things I'm buying nowadays (Christmas gifts, new releases, or textbooks) are from online. I find them so much cheaper and very convenient than having to drive to the nearest shopping center which for me is really far and it's such a gas waster. I would "click and buy", pay the $5.00 shipping fee and wait a wait to obtain my item. I'm pretty patient, I can also be lucky that some items do come within three days and that's better. xD

 

[Synerjee]

To the irony that I created this thread, I don't shop online, but prefer to buy everything from the stores. I for one thing am not an avid shopper, and for another, prefer walking around the malls, window shopping and occasionally buying things I need. It provides good exercise and also is quite calming for me in a way to just leisurely walk around. Only in situations where I really, really want a specific limited edition item or an item with a timed promotion would I turn to online shopping.

 

[Brizz]

The main online shopping that I do is for clothing, particularly shirts and even some shoes here and there. There's such a huge selection online as opposed to going to the mall or what have you, especially clothes shopping. I also buy other miscellaneous items online if it's something that I likely couldn't buy in your everyday department store.
