Online shopping

Post Reply New Topic

Have never shopped online.

I don't trust my financial data to the internet.
Plus, I need to see & touch a product in 3-D (real life) before I consider purchasing it.

I understand that shopping online would help to avoid having to be out amongst people, which does make me uncomfortable-
but it's just not a tradeoff I can make, personally (for the above reasons).

I am out in the boonies with picky taste in clothes and books, so online shopping is my friend!

Almost everything is purchased online. It is difficult for me to interact with strangers in stores, and even a large proportion of food is ordered online and delivered.

I don't like shopping online. I want to be able to touch and look at what I'm buying in person. Depending on what it is I might need to smell it or try it on too. I'd never want to buy most clothes online because it probably wouldn't fit and returning things by mail is even more of a hassle than returning things to the store and I don't want to do either.

If I get things by mail it could get lost in the mail or someone might steal it from my porch.

I also don't have a credit card except for a prepaid K-Mart one which usually has almost no money on it and I have to go to the mall to put money on it. I got it to pay for my online game.

I've thought about buying some things online that I can't find in stores but I haven't yet and would rather shop in stores even though I don't like people and don't leave the house much.

I often buy books online but I rarely buy clothes or shoes online because I have to touch them and to feel if they fit. So I have to go to a shop although I hate it. But I plan it and try to have enough time and -very important- I try to avoid other appointments at the same day because I know that it would be difficult for me after a shopping day.

I buy a lot of stuff online except for groceries. I have to see and feel the food before buying. Freshness and texture are very important to me. I feel like I spend a large part of my life doing shopping and ordering stuff. It can't be helped as I'm a mom, and everyone else in my family hate shopping even more. Plus they'll be buying nothing but muffins and candy bars.

I do not drive so I tend to buy things online that are to small for delivery and to heavy or bulky to carry home. And you do get things a little cheaper sometimes.
