Online shopping is preferred by most people such as the busy entrepreneur, workaholics, new momsies, celebrities, baby boomers, etc. because it is time-saving and people have the convenience of doing it in the privacy of their homes and can choose whatever time of day pleases them. Another good thing about this type of shopping is that the presentation is well- structured & more organized so buyers can see right away what is available and what their options are with regards to color and size. They can also check out the good and bad customer reviews that can be helpful to them especially if the first buyers give complete and honest feedbacks of their purchase. Sometimes, online shopping can be disappointing because even if it says it’s your normal fit or size, it doesn’t turn out exactly as what you expect it to be. When you received your package, it may be smaller or bigger, color might be brighter or more dull or material is of poor quality or is defective. Some photos do not show an accurate description of the item on sale so you take the risk of not getting what you really want and possibly return the purchase after ordering it. I think that when you are buying something online that is worth more than a hundred dollars, you should take extra effort to make sure that it is a good buy. For example, if you see a Red Michael Kors Mercer bag online for the first time, go run to the nearby department store and check it out yourself before purchasing it. Even if it is not the color that you prefer, still you will have an idea of what kind of material it would be and see the overall appearance of the bag if it suits your standards. Don’t buy anything online that says final sale because it cannot be returned. That is a big mistake! It doesn’t hurt to go an extra mile before you throw away your precious dollars. Most online stores offer free shipping which is good but others charged as much as $5-$10 that it makes your total purchase more expensive. Other stores offer an option to pick up the item/items and you should choose this option so you can save on shipping costs. If you are not under any constraint, you will have all the time in the world to canvas and compare prices and wait for the big discounts from these online stores. I know that online shopping can be so much fun especially if you find really cheap deals that are too good to be true! Don’t just put in your credit card information without researching on these online stores. Be wary of these fake websites because they might be fraudulent or are scams. Shop with peace of mind and trust the secured websites!
