The best part of online shopping is that you can shop from home. There is no need to go to the mall to purchase the item you need. You just need to order and it will be available right at your doorstep. It is convenient and easy! You do not need any degree to learn online shopping. All you have got to do is, visit the website, search for your product and buy it. Your product is just a click away! Shopping online gives you the privilege to shop whenever you want. The stores are never closed and you can do your shopping 24x7. It provides variety to the buyer. You don't need to jump from shop to shop to look for varieties of a product available in the market. The options available online are many and this is one of the best features of online shopping. Shopping from malls and stores makes it difficult to compare between features and prices of products. Shopping through websites provides simplified comparison of prod- ucts and helps in deciding which one should be purchased. Many websites develop special discount schemes from time to time to attract cus- tomers. You can always buy products under such schemes and save a lot of money. It keeps annoying salesperson away. Aggressive salesmen often pressurize you to buy their products. This harassment can be simply escaped by shopping using the Internet. Disadvantages The first disadvantage is that there is a time lag between you making the payment and the delivery of the product. You cannot try out the product before buying it. Many people like to try things out before making the payment. This feature remains missing when you buy a product online. High shipping costs often add up to the total cost of the product. Companies usually set very high shipping costs, which add to the total expenditure. Also, if the product is shipped from another country, you are to pay extra taxes for it. The payment method may not be secure. With increased security issues, making online payment through debit or credit cards might be insecure. It is therefore important to check whether the payment gateway is secured or not. Possibility of product damage while shipping cannot be reduced. If the product re- ceived is damaged, it may again take several days for replacement or the company may not provide any replacement at all. The ease of shopping can be extremely dangerous for shopaholics, as they may get provoked to buy many items at a time leading to unwanted expenditure. The incidence of billing errors is high and if you face one, you will again have to follow a long procedure and wait for several days before the error gets resolved. You need to have a debit or credit card to make a purchase. Very few websites give you the option of paying cash or check on delivery. If you are trying this shopping method for the first time, you should get some tips for safe online shopping from your friends and relatives who have already tried it out, so that you do not make any mistakes. Also, weigh the pros and cons and decide for yourself whether you would like to go for it or not. |
