Why not shop online?

By Persipidus

Online shopping is quickly becoming the primary method of buying goods and services. The internet offers an almost endless supply of goods at competitive prices.

It is increasingly difficult to find a retail store that has a good selection as these stores dwindle down. Because of this online malls are growing tremendously.

Last weel I found an advertisement at a retail store that had a backpack I was looking for. I though this was great because I thought I could save a little money with the sale. However when I got there the store only carried one color and it was not the color I was looking for. The sales associate at the store told me they could get one in about a week.

I left the store and did what many other have done. I went online and ordered one at a cheaper price. After the order went through the pack was at my door in four days.

In my opinion this is part of the problem of why retail stores are not retaining customers. Yes the economy has a part to play, however if the store does have what you want then why shop there. As the financial pressure grows the store with poor service and lack of inventory will sink.

It does not matter what you are looking for. Whether it is a necklace, perfume, computer, toy, or video games; Online malls offer just about everything.

Finding an online mall that offers wholesale pricing is icing on the cake. Most web malls are set up similar to department store or the specialty retail store you are used to. In my opinion why shop anywhere else.

Shopping online can save you gas and also lower your stress levels. There is no fighting for that parking spot or dealing with less than happy people. So why not shop online.

With my past experience, online shopping is the way to go. About one year ago I purchased a product from a retail store that has closed down. At this point if something happens to item I am out. The warranty is no longer active. Just a bit of advice, if you buy at retail, ask them what happens to the warranty if the store closes its doors.
