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?
- 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.
- The discrepancy in the items bought, albeit sometimes very little, is kinda disappointing.
- Its not actually cheaper if you include the waiting time and the shipping fee and other fees you have to pay.
- 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.
- 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!

@theresa: that’s why I’m always asking for actual pics of the items.
I have an online shop too and I’m not comfortable just posting pictures. I always post picture of items on hand.
I’d still go for traditional shopping! the product you’ll buy will go to waste if it doesn’t fit you and you’re right! It’s so hard to wait!
I’ve only done online shopping twice and so far I haven’t had any disappointments. Nothing beats going to the physical stores though!
yup sis Anjsh.. especially shops with Korean dresses have different pictures with the actual items.. super nakakadismaya tlga pag nabili mo na tas iba sa makukuha mu.. tsk! 🙁
I once shopped for a Korean top online and fortunately I had no problem.
