Shopping

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.

 

[Sorry Im F2P]

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.

Otherwise it's in store.

Mostly everything.. clothes are cheaper online with discount codes and so on.

Normally buy them online. It takes longer but it is much cheaper in the long run.

I usually just buy shoes online because I usually get to customize them to my liking

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.
