ReplyDeleteHi, Randall!
ReplyDeleteI have two experiences shopping on line.Shopping on line now is becomeing more and more popular in China for its convience shopping way and unbeatable price.
Though this way to consume is hot,I did not like to choose it before as I did not know how to pay the bill and worried about being cheat.The quality of the product is the most important thing I have always been concerned about .The fist thing I bought on line were several imported books which I cann't find in my town.since then, I love order books on line .It saved me a lot and the working efficiency is great.The MOST important thing is I am not so worried about the book'quality compare to the other product.I just buy books on line.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to do online is internet shopping. I love online shopping, because it’s a great way to find great deals and discounts.
ReplyDeleteBorbolla: I love internet shopping too, is a great option to buy some things very peculiars and very useful for buy things little common.
DeleteOnline shopping is especially popular in Korea, because the rate of internet is 94 percents per family. So, these days people almost experienced internet shopping.
ReplyDeleteI also experienced it and very like it. One of the merits is easy to find something that I want to buy it or see it. Also, As the price of goods was always contended by seller, it is more cheaper than traditional store. Moreover, there are large range of goods with low price & high quality on the internet. Above all, it is very comfortable to buy something. If you want to buy something, you can just click, paid and wait.
But, there are also inconvenience of online shopping.
First of all, you will have some trouble to refund purchases, when your purchases displease you. Especially, you have to consider buying clothing because you can't try on clothing.
Besides, you can buy imitation for lack of direct contact.
Nevertheless, online shopping is developing from day to day so a matter of online shopping become gradually disappeared.

ReplyDeleteIn the past few years, online shopping has become very popular. I am quite fascinated with online shopping.
ReplyDeleteOnline shopping is popular in Taiwan, though many people still enjoy traditional shopping. You can buy the same goods at a lower price in the website. It's quite easy to click on the item you want. A few days later, the goods will be delivered to your home or nearby convenient stores. Pay the money, you can get it.
ReplyDeleteOnline shopping can't offer any guarentee. Demanding a refund is also troublesome.
In my country (Peru) is not popular online shopping. I know only one friend who buys online books because she says is easy and good quality. I think to be success buying online products depend of the type of product and the company’s guaranty. About me, I had never try before online shopping because I like touch and look closely the product before I buy it.

ReplyDeleteThe advantages of online shopping is that you can find things you are looking for easily and buy them so quickly. Just go some online shopping websites such as an Amazon or E-Bay, then type the product name that you are looking for. The product name you typed is going to come out on your screen in one second, and tell you how much it costs, what it looks, what kind of quality it has, so on. If you like it, you can buy it by following their instruction. Within 10 minutes, you can finish shopping without going out! On the other hand, there is a disadvantage of online shopping. Like some stuff that you might want to try on before you buy, such as clothes, shoes, glasses, etc, obviously you can't try on them, so you can never know they match you or what size exactly they are. Though, I still love Online shopping. I believe that it could be really useful depending on how you use it.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Japan, thanks.
Online shopping support us a convenient space to compare the price. Although it is more cheaper and convenient for us to shopping, there's something we need to pay some careful attentions. For example, it can't promise the color, style or size that are really what we want. if you want to shopping on the internet, remeber to confirm the goods are really what you want more than one time.
ReplyDeleteI live in Italy, and here is very famous online shopping. The most famous site is E-bay, where they buy all objects of all kinds.
ReplyDeleteI have never buy online, because I think it isn't safe! Because there are so many scams on the Internet ... Many times when you buy on the internet, the things don't come to you! I think it's better to go to a store, so you can see, feel and touch what you want to buy.
I recently heard on television that the Chinese's clothes are dangerous and spoil your skin.
But it also has advantages, because a person can stay home and buy without going outside.

Online shopping is agood idea for me. People who can't leave home or can't go in a particular shop, can order everything what they want and receive that at home. There will be also less air pollution beacuse you havent to take the car. You can also compare different products without moving from your house
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion shopping on line has a many advantage. First you don't need to go out of your house. In this case you saves both time. You don't need to drive, so you can be relax in your home. You don't to pay a park for your car, today, in Brasil is absolutaly expansive stop your car in shopping. So is certainly cheaper to use internet for buy.
ReplyDeleteHello, I buy online only if I can. It's cheaper way too get goods even after covering the cost of delivery. I live out of the town. Although I prefer buy foods on my own especially vegetables and fruits. I think present-day this kind of shopping are very popular in each parts of the words but it does not replace common one.
ReplyDeleteNowadays, online shoppig is becoming more popular.Fist of all, Buying online is faster and more convenient than traditional shopping. Moreover, you can find some amazing things on the Internet.However, shopping online sometimes means spending a lot of money. For example, you may spend more money buing online than in a shop. Futhermore, the clothes can not suit you. As for me, I like buying online but i don`t do it often. If I can find something interesting I can order it on the Internrt. I spend the most of my money on accessories because I like details in image.

Well, I decided to bought a pretty shirt for my friend. Why?
Because I think is going to be more comfortable for her and is a more related with me.
Online shopping takes away the personal touch of a gift, so, if I give her a present more me, she is going to remember for more time.
I'm student,recenty I bought a gift for my friend because It's her birthday, It was sock and glass of wine. And for me I bought somes books for my study
ReplyDeleteHi Randall !
ReplyDeleteI am a third year student. The truth is that it is more convenient to buy online because you do not have to go to the store and you can order it with just one click from your home. I think more and more people buy online for convenience and for the good deals that exist.
But not everything is good, there are also drawbacks, not all pages are reliable, there are scams.
Personally, I have been "scammed" once I bought something in Ali Express and they did not give it to me. When I spent 2 months I asked for the money and they gave it to me.
I say this because I think the Internet system works quite well because in the end I got the money
There are reliable pages that I have bought several times and that I always bring (what I ask) to my house. I think you can trust some, not all, but when you try it once and you see that it is reliable, you realize how comfortable it is.
Sincerely, Sofia
I like to buy online because it is fast, simple, insurance, and they take it home.
ReplyDeleteI have bought several things online and I have had very good experience.
I like the online shopping, because it's very comfortable when you are in your house, and also the online sshopping it's fast.
ReplyDeleteEscudero.
Hello, I am a student. I recently bought a gift for my friend because he was years old and it was a coat and pants.
ReplyDeleteHello, Randall.
ReplyDeleteI think online shopping is fine, but to buy things that are not clothing, since you can not try the size, and do not know which is right for you. But otherwise, online shopping is always good.
In my opinion, shopping online is very beneficial for buyers because they bring it home, sometimes things are cheaper, etc.

ReplyDeleteHello Randall, I think online shopping has improved a lot in recent years, especially for being much more comfortable at the time of not having to spend hours looking for and buying clothes, which usually happens when holidays are , besides that you have the posivilidad to find things which are not easy to find in your city or even in your country, in the case of clothes, there is also no problem with the sizes because you can always ask for two and return one.
I like to buy online, it's easy and fast, I usually buy several times there, on the internet I find clothes, games, and other types of things that I do not find in a normal store or that I find it hard to find them in stores because they do not exist in spain or are sold out etc, I think it's very good to be able to buy online
ReplyDeleteSince i was kid my shopping method has changed becoming bigger than before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us how it is done! This was one of my faves too. Great little quilt!

Online stores is the great thing! I often do there shopping. It saves my time and my money. Time because I don't need to go traditional shops which are situated in different places of the city.I make the order and a courier delivers my goods in convinent for me time and place. Only food I buy in offline supermarket, because I like to select fruit, vegetables and other food directly.
ReplyDeleteOnline shopping is fun, but it could be a great risk. many friends like me have been shopping online for a while, and most of them got the products they don't wanted or not as they expected.
ReplyDeletein my country the traditional way is most common use than online shopping ,the mentality of anyone here must see the product he will purchase specially when you buy something high price like electronics , furniture ,clothes and cars the impact of online shopping when be sell in something or special day like black Friday all going to buy anything .
ReplyDeleteHi, Randall,
ReplyDeleteIn my country, Colombia, we are really new to online shopping, more in the sense that we have been loosing the fear of buying without actually seeing. I am not really used to it yet because I don't own any credit or debit card, so I help my dad once in a while when he tries to get some goods on sale from Retail Stores, and my boyfriend too, since he usually does more online shopping than actually going to a physical store.
These experiences have helped me to understand that online shopping for things like Electronics, or something else that is not clothing, makes it easier to get what you want and avoid having to move to another point or dealing with cash or lines to make a payment. So I think it is wonderful and a great choice if you want to save some time.
I like online shopping. It's very useful when you haven't enough free time. Also you can compare prices in different shops and order the delivery. But there are a lot of things which I prefer to buy not online. For example, food and clothes. I like to try clothes before buying and feel the material. And food is better to feel, to taste and to smell and to see.
