With the way the internet is going you can pretty much buy anything online. You just have to pay for shipping but for most things shipping isn't too bad. Do you buy online or still buy in store?
I like to buy online for most of my stuff. Why go to stores anymore? It's such a waste of time in my opinion and when you buy online you know they will always have what your looking for.

I think that in-store shopping is great especially for certain things like groceries. But sometimes, online shopping is just so much better because it's both easier and cheaper. The amount of discount codes available online is just great and stores can't compete with that.

I'd rather not buy online unless it's some web development, computer maintenance, or computer 3D art thing. Well, those things are normally only found on the web, much of the time.

I prefer to buy in store as i like to have a good look around the shop for what i like & see stuff i probably didn't have in mind, but for particular things & things i can't find in store i go straight online for them as you can't go wrong.

I will browse around to see if I can find it cheaper online or if it is cheaper in the store before actually buying it. I prefer buying online because then I don't have to leave my home.

Definitely right that we don't see them anywhere other than on the web. Makes me wonder if they used to have physical stores/branches for companies that did web development where you could walk in and get a website made.

Personally, I'm always open to shopping 🛒 both online and offline because I make use of both at my convenience.

I like to buy online as the product reaches me without me going out and taking much effort. I also do in store shopping for daily needs.

Both. Sometimes human stores are very customer friendly.

I like to buy online for most of my stuff. Why go to stores anymore? It's such a waste of time in my opinion and when you buy online you know they will always have what your looking for. Brick and mortars what I really prefer. Specially, while buying cloth items or any jewellery items, you can't really judge the colour and quality just by glancing at pictures. Having a physical look will obviously going to help in that. Except that, tech items like Phones or accessories I normally prefer to buy online, as most of the times the dealer provides good amount of discounts there. 😊 After the pandemic the situation has changed now. There's no other option for me but to go for all kind of online stuffs. But before ordering something, I normally lookout for the return policy, as I don't really trust such sites blindly. 😅

I do both but like to actually see/feel what I am buying rather than online.

I was a brick and mortar fan, but now I'm predominantly online, it's just easier! Since the pandemic, as well, it's safer not having to go in stores, and since that doesn't seem to be on the way out anytime soon, I'll stick with my online habit!

These days the shipping fee is no joke. Recently I tried to get some tassels and the product price for the 5 tassels is just 150 INR where as the shipping fee is about 1600 INR!
I didn't know what to say but at the end, I had to get them, as the tassels are really cute. So, I try not to get everything online but I am not much of an outdoor person so, I end up buying 90% of the stuff online.

In store because I like to see what I’m buying. To examine what I’m buying. Online if it’s cheaper and to return it would be easy. Hard to return some things bought online.

I have never bought anything online in my life, no plans to change. I'm old fashioned...never even owed a cell phone. You ought to see my vinyl record collection from the 50's and 60's. lol

How do you manage ? Some local stores give very pathetic products.

I still have to get some stuff local, but everything else that can wait on, I just buy online. Saves me a lot of time, gas and health in the long run.

Guess what I went to buy yesterday in store myself? A new 3.5kva generator. I've worked on my old one too many times I can't do it again.
