Advantages and Disadvantages of Online Shopping

        Almost everyone has bought something online, right? Online shopping is a very convenient kind of shopping. The only thing you must do is get on the internet, pick the product, and buy it. Simple as that. Another great thing about online shopping is you don’t have to have to leave the comfort of your own home. Do you ever wonder if online shopping is safe, or if the product you’re buying is more expensive than buying it at the store? There are so many advantages to online shopping but there are some downfalls.

        Many people would say that they don’t shop online because of the outrageous shipping prices. For example, why would you buy three-dollar item? Then pay seven dollars and fifty cents for shipping? You’re paying more for shipping than the item. Other people do not shop online because of the uncertainty of safe sites. Not knowing if it’s a scam or if the item will take months to come. Another reason is, you cannot try on online clothes. Some clothing stores sizes are different from others. They can run smaller or larger. You just never know.
