I'm just starting to experiment with some online shopping. I tend to do a lot of automotive work which leaves me at the auto parts store a lot and I've srtarted experimenting with some online part stoes. What surprises me is the ridiculous difference in prices when comparing the same products. I've also unfotunately found that a lot of products I look to buy online come from the US so shipping/customs which kills a ton of my savings. What do you buy online and what do you avoid buying online? Do you prefer to shop online, or would you rather just visit a store?
I prefer shopping online for most things. It's just an inconvenience to go shopping when I had uni and work and the gf etc. I go food shopping in-person because the store staff tend to give you all the junk that's been sitting for days and not the fresh'ns. I don't think there's much else I wont buy online.. usually save some money online and shipping is always free in most big stores in the UK because it's such a small country.
Very rarely buy things online, I prefer seeing what I'm gettin, obviously it's not always possible. Like i'd rather go out of my way to go food shopping than to order it all online.
I tend to shop for specialist things online, as they're impossible to get on the highstreet. I do a weekly foodshop, and there are 3 supermarkets <1 min from my front door, so it's not a problem. I buy clothes from retail stores in the centre, because they're so damn cheap, but specialist clothing online due to them being impossible to get in the city. tl;dr If I can get it cheaply face to face, I will. If I can't, online.
ecig parts/mods, iphone cases/accessories, clothing (online sales are super I just got 2 name brand sweatshirts from tillys for $15). And my bodybuilding supplements. Otherwise it's in store.
I buy alot of stuff online and it's way easier for me and there's tons of sites now days for pretty much everything
Yeah, I find things dirt cheap online even at big retail store websites. Also I find eBay is even cheaper as there is a lot of competition for the same item. But to the question, I buy 99% of my things online but all my clothes I buy from a store!
Ammunition. Rare parts or magazines. Even orded a gun online to have delivered to my FFL. Also some t-shirts, some tools. A pair of boots once (after trying them on in store). I still dont utilize it like I should. I prefer to do business with people, small businesses preferred.
Things for PS3/Other gaming systems/phone accessories/controllers/anything related to electronics. You'll find online that electronics are cheaper, phone accessories are always like 99 cents because they come from China. Ebay is ace for Gaming system accessories/games because if they don't work, the company will send another 99% of the time without you having to return the original, or they'll just refund. Occasionally I do clothes shopping, I don't like the whole aspect of shopping in the Mall because the vendors attack you, and the salesmen are laid back but most of them are young dumb fucks.
