Advantages of online shopping

Disadvantages of online shopping

In a fast paced society, time saved by searching, comparing, and buying online versus hitting the streets and browsing the traditional stores is immeasurable.

Almost any item a consumer can imagine is available when the shops of the globe are as close as a computer terminal.

Advantages of online shopping

With a few keystrokes, prices on one retail web site can be compared with the sale prices on another. When you shop at brick and mortar stores, you have to manually compare prices in ads, or rely on tips from friends about good deals.

Shopping online eliminates the hassle of browsing

and deciding at absolutely ground zero on the spot.

Shoppers are able to get lower prices when buying online because online stores are not burdened by the costs of running a physical store, such as the rent of the physical premises and operating costs such as the wages of sales staff.

It is convenient. You don’t have to get dressed, get in your car, drive through the traffic, and struggle to find a parking place to get to a brick and mortar store that may or may not have the item you want. Instead, you can sit in comfortably in your own home, in your robe and furry slippers, purchase the item you need online

and arrange for overnight delivery.
