Shopping Online or in Physical Stores?

[Ventus]

Which do you prefer, shopping online or at stores?

With the surgence of a credit card, I honestly love doing both, but spend more time online than I do going to a store. After all, why spend money on gas when I can pay for the base product?

I totally agree! Physical stores by a long shot. If I want something, I want it now and not in 2-3 business days!

Honestly going to have to go with physical stores. I want to see and hold the product I intend to purchase, and try it on if it's clothing. But I prefer the idea of online shopping.

I prefer shopping in person. Especially when wigs/clothing is involved. But I know some things you just have to buy overseas. That's why I save a ******** of money every year until anime Boston.

I pretty much do both. I love to shop online mostly than in person. They're some things that the store might not have. Plus it saves time for me..

In store. I like the interaction with people.

If it involves with buying clothes and food, I'll choose physical stores.

I usually use onlines stores to get video games that hardly show up in stores.

I actually prefer to shop in stores. When you can actually touch something, let's say a DVD, that's what makes you decide if you want to buy it or not. Being able to hold it and read the back, look at it from every angle is better that looking at a 2D picture on Amazon or ebay. Also, you get it right away, instead of having to wait a week or two.

I will on occasion buy something online. When I do that it;s usually because the item is not in stores anymore (like the original Goosebumps prints and video games, and rare Star Wars merchandise.)

But still, shopping is an actual store is awesome.

if it is something I can't find in the local stores I'll use the internet. For everything else I just go to town and check out the stores. I like this better

I honestly love to do both. I think it's fun to browse a real store, get excited about what I can find and just see the items for real, get the satisfaction of getting what you're buying right away. Other times I prefer going online, search through everything the store has, compare prices between the different stores, see if I can manage to keep my purchase under a set amount (because once it goes over that amount I have to pay customs, which can end up making a purchase as much as twice as costly). I often end up saving a lot of money doing this.

I actually use the internet to find what I want, then I go to a real store to actually buy it.

Online. I always find WAAAAAAAAAY better deals!

 

[Jiggly Jaws]

I prefer online. Even though I can't really see or hold the product, it is generally easier on my wallet. Though I do like going into a store and buying things in person from time to time. If I do buy in person though, Its usually at a liquidation sale.

I prefer buying goods at physical stores. Seeing a product in person is always reassuring. Only if I can't locate something in store or an exclusive online deal is available, do I buy something on the net.
