I find many online bargains for small electronics. Plus I'm able to search reviews for them. If I need to I can always go to a B&M to physically see what I'm interested in but the major deals for me are online.
On-line has the best prices for electonics, I always save money using this method!
I can find better clothing sales and selections (in the sizes I need) online than if I were to go to the actual store.
I like buying online. I find I can cover more territory to comparison shop and it's the only way I can locate those size 4 shoes that are impossible to find.
i have had bad experiences buying clothing online, never fit to size...oh well, its still fun the search.
I have rarely been disappointed when buying on line. Even buying furniture has been a good experience. Sometimes the shipping and delivery charges are high, but when you think about the gas and time spent driving from store to store, you probably come out better. Just read the reviews, research brands and compare.
Online channel is great for moms. No time to shop at stores. Also, you can select them by different categories - you can't do that in the store.
I am a big proponent of purchasing online. Today's technology makes it safer; and the vendors usually have a wider selection of styles and sizes. Returns have been made as easy as real stores, and the vendors seem to vie for customers so CS is usually outstanding. I love being able to shop at my leisure, get a better selection and not waste what little bit of time I have left by hitting all the stores.
I like to shop online. It saves time and gas. I have never had to send anything back. I do not buy shoes or clothes online because I like to try them on for a perfect fit.
I prefer to buy clothing in a "brick and mortar" store where I can try it on, I do not think I have ever purchased clothing online. It's so hard to find clothes that fit properly! But most of my books come from online merchants! I especially love PaperBackSwap.com.
