Online shopping
-
Anyone here always buy items online instead of just going to the shop and get what you need? Lets talk about the advantages and disadvantages of buying things online as compared to the actual going to the shop and getting your items?
( This is actually a project one E-commerce, but would like to know some stuffs from you guys)
Thanks!

have been shopping online for so long i have forgottern how to shop at physical shops.......
advantages:
convenient, i can shop at 2am, pay with CC....
can buy things tt are not sold in singapore
sometimes they are cheaper than in retail shops
disadvantages:
can be addictive
mus wait for it to ship over (but it's ok, good things must wait one)
credit card security (not a prob if u bother to check if it's a secured site)
cannot touch or see wat u buying, so may buy wrong size, color, material (but shd be seasoned after u buy a few times) -
ask fireice...
brick-and-mortar is good cos:
1. can spend time with friends
2. can see wat u wan, the real thing, in front of you and can usually touch it also
3. can get wat u wan immediately, more tangible feel to shopping -

Anyone else got something to add on? -
I usually buy tees online, a US site.
The fact that one can't feel or touch the items, the site should provide as much as detail as the product. Like the tee sizing, close-up shots of design, shipping details, weight etc. Examples like these will cut down the uncertainty in the mind of online shoppers. Site will probably lose the potential customers if there many many issues left pondering. I liked the fact that the transaction goes thru a paying merchant and secured.
So far happy with the purchases and delivery usually comes within 3 weeks or less. -
if u have biao zhun figure like me, u dun have to worry about the sizing and cut.
