Shopping
on line has become more popular since more and more people have found a way to
sell their products directly to their friends and the general market. One of
the logic in selling goods online is that you catch the people where their
attention already is. Since then, the shopping sites have improved interfaces
and face book profiles have become online shops.
For
anyone who shops online, the convenience is in the fact that online shops and
products are available for anytime at anytime because basically, online shops
don’t close. Buying and selling has become easier and less stressful because
there’s no need to wait in line to check out and you don’t have to walk all
around the mall to find the perfect pair or cheaper pair of jeans when you can
easily compare things side by side when your online. Online shopping has also
enabled us to buy anything from any part of world. The less convenient part in
online shopping is paying for the shipping fee, and finding that clothes you
buy don’t fit you right or that the product doesn’t have the good quality you
expected.
Three
products that I will have no hesitation in buying would be vouchers for restaurants
and other services, art bought directly from blogs of artistic and books.
Vouchers are quite simple, you pay for them because you want to eat at a great
restaurant for cheaper or go to the gym and pay less. You have to use the
vouchers you buy before their expiration date just like anything actually.
These vouchers help companies or business promote themselves by giving the
consumers a chance to sample their products and services.
Art
bought from blogs are the same as buying directly from an artist because they
handle it the same way. These art pieces aren’t the big oil paintings but
available online are mostly small water colors or prints of digital
illustrations. I have a friend who sells paintings online for a good cause. Books
and their quality also pose little risk when you buy them online. I get books
through a friend who shops online for me. Thanks for good friends around the
world.
Products
that make me hesitate before buying could be clothes, shoes and bags. The
threat is always in if they’re not the right size, are in good condition and if
their original or counterfeit. People who buy shoes online usually have to
resell them because they’re too big or too small. Some shopping websites offer
free shipment and return so that’s when it’s more convenient or less risky.
Products
that should probably be never bought online include gadgets, children’s toys
and jewelry. Gadgets usually solid in bulks or sold by a person who gets many
orders usually get their supplies from China. The wires could be faulty and
they may not be durable all together. Children’s toys think should always be
bought with caution because the materials or paint used in manufacturing could
be really harmful. Jewelry or watches are safer bought personally. The photos
of the product could easily be manipulated and with great risk in the cost,
it’s safer not to buy expensive gems online. I would rather consider buying jewelry,
gadgets and children’s toys personally, but for gifts only.
Online
shopping when you look at it seems quite easy and convenient when you go to the
right websites. It may also be addictive for some because you use your credit
card and online shops are always open with ads popping up everywhere. But this
trend is only a result of how the world is shrunk by your access to the
internet. Other online places that people put their money in are online start
ups that need crowd funding and fundraising of different organizations.
Everything becomes easier as time goes by and earning money or spending money
just follows that.
The
above is only my personal opinion as the way I see it from others who are fond
of online shopping. But if given the chance to do it, the above are the things
I will and will not do.
The
questions of ‘What makes online shopping convenient and less convenient?” is a
bit hard to answer. For someone who is not really and literally into shopping,
online or not. For one, again, I am not fond of shopping. My sister and
daughter shops for me ha ha….they are the ‘shopaholic’ partners (someone
who greatly enjoys going shopping and buying things or who can’t stop
themselves doing this). I hate the lights inside the shopping mall and the
long walk around. I can walk for exercise, but I don’t consider walking in a
shopping mall the right exercise. Secondly, I don’t use credit cards because I
don’t have one. I am better off paying cash and not worry about tomorrow’s bill
and other unnecessary charges. Lastly, I am better off splurging on food (treat
family and friends for lunch, dinner or snacks), travel and my advocacy for the
handicapped children, never on shopping material things primarily because, I
don’t feel like I am left out or disadvantaged, anyway. I feel like saving the
money for other things that are more important in my bucket list and that give
me inner joy, contentment and peace. It’s just me.
