How Online Shopping Is Not For You

I’m just gonna throw in some rant, I’m just disappointed with my online shopping lately.

I’ve been an online shopper for (Ebay, Multiply and Facebook Online Stores) awhile but as much as I love the variety of items being sold and that they are less cheaper compared to buying it in a mall or direct from a shop, I came to a conclusion that online shopping is not for me anymore.

Why?

  1. The wait time kills me.  I’ve long gone tired looking at the picture of the item I purchased before it gets to me.  By the time I get the item I am no longer excited about wearing/using it.
  2. The discrepancy in the items bought, albeit sometimes very little, is kinda disappointing.
  3. Its not actually cheaper if you include the waiting time and the shipping fee and other fees you have to pay.
  4. Its hard to get a replacement and if ever you get a replacement you will have to wait again.  The wait time is such an agony.
  5. I’m getting uncomfortable sharing my contact details to local online sellers.
For an impulse buyer/shopper like me online shopping is something I will have to try to avoid from now on.  I’d rather go traditional shopping where I can see, smell, feel and try on the items immediately on real time and not wait for a long time in agony and anticipation to get disappointed later on because of some minor or major discrepancies. It’s like asking for an rv repair but what you’ll get is an rv cleaning and tune-up only.
How about you? Where do you go shopping?
Stay gorgeous everyone!

  1. I agree with this! I find it so hard to shop online because I can’t tell if the clothes would look good on me, if the shoes would fit, or even if the bag I want is of good quality.
    It’s a good way to window shop and look for what you want though (esp habang nasa office, hehehehe)

  2. hindi rin mganda ang online shopping for shoes, because you’ll never know if it fits you or not.

  3. haha.. tama sis kristine.. 🙂 so tempting sa online shopping din.. d ko alam kung color ba ng damit ang nakakaakit or the dress itself.. haha 😀

  4. Ako mas mahirap saken ang online shopping kc sobrang dami kong naki2ta ang gusto silang bilhin lahat. Mas mhirap magdecide and then It end up na wala na akong nabibili.
