contrast online shopping with shopping at the mall?
Posted on January 18th, 2010 by admin
Online shopping offers:
* Convenience. You can shop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, holidays included. No hassles with parking. No crowds.
* Price and product comparisons. You can compare prices and products more easily than at a mall.
* Greater variety of stores and merchandise online than in a mall.
* No sales tax, in some cases.
Disadvantages of online shopping:
* Limited view of merchandise. Cannot see and feel it. Colors of items online are not always represented accurately.
* Can’t try on clothes and shoes when shopping online.
* No social aspect in online shopping. And you can’t stop with your friends for a Coke or ask them if these jeans make your butt look big..
* Shipping costs!
* Have to wait for your merchandise; mall shopping, you bring the item home with you.
* Returning items bought online can be more difficult; you have to pay shipping costs for returns.
* Dealing with problems when shopping online can be more difficult than at a mall. You may be buying from an unknown merchant online. There are no salespeople online to answer questions or help you make a decision.

Mall shopping.
Crowded with people.
Have to be fully dressed.
Higher prices to cover high rent.
Travel time and expense.
Online shopping
Shop in your underwear
Find what you want easily
No crowds
Better pricing
No drivetime or travel expense
No parking worries
No muggings (hopefully)
Close to the kitchen
Watch television while shopping
Lisaten to your music, not Muzak
Welp, that decided it for me…
