Do you prefer shopping online or shopping physically by visiting the stores?

Question

Which one do you enjoy more or find easier?

Depends on the product but most things for me for sure online. If you want to get into buy cards like MTG there is always that thought you should support your local stores which while good it's often more expensive.
If I was wealthy then I would support local stores and not mind so much. But when you are every penny counts online way better.

Now rarely you will find a better deal in a store key word rarely but sure I go anyway just to check but it's a hassle so not exactly fun. It would be better if they just had a site now telling this item is cheaper or on sale etc so you can see it before having to go there.
Then Video games I just buy digital they often are cheaper than physical versions when a sale comes around. Then there are figurines yeah good luck finding the certain ones you want in stores. Though you might. I found Ruby and Wiess but no Blake or Yang from RWBY in shops so then there is 2 Missing that I would have to go online to buy anyway.
I guess my point is if your looking for a certain something online will always be better.

But if your just looking for random books or some glasses go to a charity shop simples. The kinda of things you aren't exactly worried about not finding the exact right ones. Like my favourite shop in blackpool when I go there tons of cool stuff in there but I do not enter it expecting to find what I want to buy so it's more browsing than buying.

So I suppose the real question is do you like browsing or actually getting what you want? And my answer is getting what I want for most the things I buy. However with books or something I don't mind just browsing or finding random ones.

Oh, stores for sure unless it is super busy. I am someone who honestly likes it. Plus, you can look at stuff and feel stuff and even shit that you're not going to buy is still fun to look at. Plus, sample days.

I also like when they play music that I like. I know they do that to keep people in the stores longer since they like the music that is playing and if I like it. Then it sure works on me!

Also, I love it around Christmas time when they have Christmas stuff out. oh, and egg nogg.

Online is harder, as they don't deliver to my house. They deliver to the post office which I have to go pick up anyways and returns are a mess too.

It would be different if they delivered to the house and if I needed to returned, picked it up.

In person I can see if something is what I really want and not be mislead by stupid fake shit online.

Although I did tell a store employee to get their head out of their ass and stop sucking his own dick cause he appeared to be fucking himself while giving himself oral yesterday.

Finding something online then going to the store to pick it up and the asshole said, we don't sell that in the store we only sell it online... got him his just reward. I don't go into a store to be told I can buy it online, they might as well shut the store down if that is how they are going to operate.

If they have it online they should legal be required to have it in the store as well or flag it as ONLINE only item not available in a store.

I get so tired of people saying they deliver right to your home when it is a blatant lie.

Depends on what I'm shopping for, grocery shopping online is not something I have even considered doing because I like to be able to pick out and look through the meats and produce I'm very picky on those things. However the gift shopping or just other random item shopping most the time it's easier to find things online than in store most of the time everything is out of stock in this day and time. Clothing shopping I like to do in person because not everything fits the same and being a tall female finding pants that work is a lot harder than most would think.

14JDPO · Answer

While I prefer to shop in a physical store, I live in a very rural area and our only shopping options are Walmart and a place called Murdoch's. The closest Target is 2 hours away... so I typically have to shop online, especially in the winter.

• Online is the “birds eye view.”

• in-person is the quality check and scale if it’ll fit for it’s designated purpose.

I prefer online and just eyeball things and return, but if things are slow, I’m feeling simple, and don’t need the hassle or extra payment to ship, I’ll just do in-person.

Especially not going to order online- a bunch of Ferrero Rocher 🤓🤝

KayMay · Answer

Often times when I want something, I want it NOW. So I drive all over town looking for it, but no one has it. Then inevitably the sales person says: "I can order it for you if you want."

Crap, I could have done that and never left home. Retail is going the way of the dinosaur and the phone booth.

Sour-rose · Answer

Online usually. When I shop in store, I don't find what I want. Or i do find what I want but i don't have the soliders (money) to send to buy it for me without a good reason. B. tempted underwear on sale? Meh, B. tempted is good but I could use this for something else. Very nice jacket that would be cool on me? Meh, it could but it'll probably be sold later.

Online... well they will have it as just the same but it's one of those little things

desidoll · Answer

Depends on what am I going to get. Fresh meat or vegetables/fruits are better to be bought directly from the market. I don’t want to get smelly, rotten or yellowish fresh products which happened a few times. Things that are in packages are fine to get online.

Katebfun · Answer

Amazon is suprisingly much cheaper I have bought shoes, dresses and other things that were high quaility and half the price if I were to go to the mall. Most Clothing stores here in the USA like Target, Khols or mall stores are way over priced. Amazon is great on returing items, go to Khols to return get a coupon for $5 coupon. I usually just get candy so I don't have to sepnd a penny @ Khols.

AviatorTom · Answer

It's a mix of the two. I always shop for groceries by visiting the store. For other things, I occasionally like to visit the store; it supports local jobs and I can get what I want/need more quickly, plus I often see things I wouldn't buy otherwise. I do buy a lot online, if it's cheaper and easier to get.

Overall, I prefer to visit the store.

Snakeyes7 · Answer

There are ups and downs to both. Physical shopping is good for if you have the time to look for it and in exchange you can have it now.

Online shopping can be done immediately but you must wait for it to arrive. I do this option if there is something I want and don't want to forget about buying it.

genericname85 · Answer

i used to hate waiting for shipping. i wanted to touch shit and take it with me. but these days, what you find in stores is only overpriced trash. specially when it comes to electronics. if you wanna have a product, you pretty much have to order it yourself anyway.

Quigly · Answer

I don't like buying clothes or groceries online.

That's most of the shopping that I do.

In the early days of online shopping you could find deals. Now it's more often that it's more expensive online.

In the early says of online shopping you could find items that weren't available in the stores. That's no longer the case.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

Online by a mile! I can find things that aren't necessarily in local stores, compare prices across a much wider range, and see what other shoppers thought of their purchases. Grocery items or and anything large/expensive is when I'm going in person.

iiinsOMNIA · Answer

Not many clothes fit me correctly, so it's more of a hassle to shop online. However there are always more clothes on online stores as opposed to in-person stores nowadays.

If we're talking goods other than clothes, I'd prefer online shopping.

desperatelyhungry · Answer

Shopping online is more convenient, but I enjoy going out shopping too. Especially if I have extra money to play with, you never know what you’ll run across and it’s especially fun when done with friends also looking to shop

BlueScorpio · Answer

A little bit both, but I usually like getting g it stores so I don't havr to wait of pay for shipping. Bit if I can find it, there's a great sale online, or too lazy to get it, then I'll do online shopping.

petitedollbabee · Answer

Depends on the item. Groceries, shoes and art supplies I prefer to buy in-store so that I can make sure I’m getting the right items/make sure they fit correctly. But furniture, clothing and electronics (phone, console etc) I’m happy to buy online.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I usually like to evaluate & scrutinize the merchandise in person before I decide whether to buy it or not. If the store will match to beat the deals online, the store gets the sale.

Fireguy17 · Answer

a mix of both.
Somethings are the same no matter where you buy them, cat food, etc, but there are somethings you just can't tell the quality unless you have it in your hands, you can't get that from a picture.

TheVigilantOne · Answer

I prefer online shopping as it’s easier and more variety and you don’t have to lug it all home on busses and s**t as they deliver it, you can order it one day get it the next or even same day so yeah online all the way.

SnowedIn · Answer

It really depends but I usually prefer to shop in a store. Some things, if I know exactly what I want, online. Grocery, definitely, is an in-person thing.

mickmrly · Answer

I vastly prefer going in person and shopping at the store, but sadly stores in my area have less variety over time and I need to go online to get more and more stuff.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

Online is easier, but going physically is more fun. I'm already someone who prefers to stay at home so going out, even if it's just for shopping is something I try to do.

aquamarine321 · Answer

I know it may seem odd but I prefer to go shopping physically, I prefer to buy something and have it on hands than to be waiting for years to get it, plus I’m not sure if I’ll get my product, lost or stolen, I like to have it in hand

I like shopping physically, but sometimes the products are cheaper online so it just really depends hehe

I like shopping online because I'm an introvert and I don't drive. Only reason why I like going to the store is I can physically see what I'm buying.

LivingExample · Answer

In my day Clothing was about Fabric, Wool, Silk, Cashmere, Chiffon to name a few. Going to the store physically you could Feel the Fabric and See how it Looked and Felt on. Online is easier, but you don’t get that Experience!
