I used to like walking for clothes and trawling the shops.
However when started browsing online I gradually started shopping this way as I found the streets too stressful with too many people around me.

Have you ever been too depressed to shop?

Do you get a rush going home and trying on your brand new clothes or waiting for something you bought online to arrive?

Not a fan of online shopping, besides, working in Central London , everything I need is within walking distance of work, plus you don't have to waste a day waiting for the delivery man to arrive with the goods.thumbs up

I won't do it, or conduct any financial business on the internet. Not safe. (Look at all the problems people have with it). Besides, it's lazy. Get out into the world and LIVE. It's not THAT hard, or that bad, for that matter. I am against the superfluous use of technology. Go shopping with real friends, real money, and a real outlook on life.

I think that online shopping is good, the delivery is cheap, the goods are cheap and fresh, the special offers are good, Just 30 mins on the computer and I am done, and a one hour time slot for delivery.

I do a lot more shopping on-line these days. I have a prime account with Amazon which provides better deals and most items ship within a couple days.

If security is an issu, I've found that there are shop-safe feature provided by a lot of major credit card companies that will not charge you for unauthorized purchases and some allow you to generate a sub-credit card number for a single use or you can specify where it is used and multiple times.

shopping online often because its convenient, eBay offers international goodies, PayPal and eBay give guaranties that cover safe arrival, as described and other user feedback stats...probably safer than shopping in shops

I use e-bay and other international internet shoppers, with paypal, the level of protection and dedication to shoppers welfare is good.

How else could we afford night out shopping in Hong Kong, US of A, UK, Poland, NZ, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, China and points in-between including Australia , how else could you enjoy an evening shop in all those places.
How else would you spot a Cuisinart Steam + Convection Oven that combines a full-featured convection oven with a steaming function. Steam heat that cuts down the cooking time by as much as 40%.
Allows you to choose from 9 single and combination functions. Steam or poach any type of vegetable, fish, poultry or rice, use steam in combination with both Grill and Bake functions to create roasts that are beautifully browned on the outside, yet moist and juicy on the inside. Or proof bread dough in the oven, then bake with steam for an artisan-style loaf with a crisp, golden-brown crust.

I swing both ways laugh


If I need new clothes or other personal items I hit the mall conversing


For books, electricals and bulky items I find online shopping useful, especially if delivery is free thumbs up
