Short talk
For me online shopping and face to face shopping are world’s apart.
I actually love to shopping online because I can access anything I want with a click of a button. It’s a breeze to search for items and much more convenient than going to a shop. You know I can do it all from the comfort of my home.
I don’t have to worry about the hassle of travelling to a shopping mall, going around busy shops and waiting in queues.
Thay said, I recognise there is always a bit of a security risk, vis a vis using online payments. Sometimes online sites are hacked and credit card information is stolen, but I think most established stores have trustworthy, online security systems.
Some say, they are way actually safer than real shops.
I guess the one thing I do prefer to buy in brick and mortar shop is clothes. I need to feel the material, see the quality and try them on to check the size.
By and large, I am much more at shopping online from home!
