Link to us: http://snipurl.com/uc2bb

As continue of the previous post, online shopping consists of few more disadvantages. We all do know that online shopping may cause purchaser a main problem is the items spoilt and changed in what they have order through the e-boutique. This is the common problem face by most of the buyers all the time. Due to the reason buyer cannot check through the merchandise on the spot during the purchasing, therefore when they receive the product if in a bad condition they just cannot do anything because the seller will argue that it was in good condition when they packed in. They will point a finger to the delivery person and do not make any compensation to the buyer.

Besides that, the main problem that most of the people do not purchase online is the problem of security on the transaction of money. We just don't trusted on those e-boutique and not to mention transferring of money to them. Moreover, we will get the product after the transferring of money in at least three days or a week. Thus, we just don't trust on the online transferring process and yet the transferring may not receive by the seller.

Another disadvantages may be the slow down of Internet connection. Why do I say so? Simply because user will spent a lot of time wait for the loading of online website. This slow down of connection will cause user to spent a lot of time and we know that buyer want to shop online just because they do not have much time and busy with their current things. As our previous post was stated out why people nowadays like to do online shopping simply because they are busy and online shopping will not take many of their time as they do shopping at the traditional retail outlet. As we know online shopping will need user to have a computer and the availability to access the Internet. Thus, it still do not reach the older age of consumer and reach a limited of affordable range of consumer.

There are both advantages and disadvantages on online shopping. However, it doesn't bad that if you giving one more chance to yourself and other security sites for buying online after the bad experiences. Perhaps they might change your perception. Do vote for our post, thanks.

Cons of Online Shopping

Everything has two sides, positive and negative. Pros of online shopping are considerable, but still there are some cons that frustrating you and might be the main reason for some shoppers remain the traditional shopping in real stores and malls. Here I'm going to discuss some disadvantages of online shopping with you.

From the response of the participants in last week poll, most of them faced the barrier of items used and low quality. How come it happened? It might probably due to the owner of e-shop is unprofessional. Perhaps you are not believe, but can you imagine those owner who are really unprofessional sold the clothes they worn? More importantly the shoppers who make order would not know at all due to owner mislead shoppers by using the attractive pictures and stated how good quality was the product such as "stainless" or "leather", but then ended up with different thing when receive it. It doesn't matter if the owner wants to earn side profit and avoid wasting their items, as long as the items are still in good and acceptable condition, and listed in the product's information to inform shoppers. Somehow the unprofessional owner will just ignore these and while shoppers received their product, disappointment occurred as the color has faded away and low quality material of the product.

Besides that, oversize problem always there! Why? Simple! You do not see the item being sold personally. You are restricted to try on the products and see the true size of them. Plus, model pictures could be the issue, the picture might be edited in the standard size in order to look nice and amazing to attract shoppers' attention although it's not true, in addition the measurement that owner showed to the shoppers might not accurate. One more issue is the owner listed few sizes for shoppers, but ended up with only one size. Shoppers are upset as they think they will look nice with that product but the other way round when try on the received product. Try on yourself always better than making unsure judgement!

Moreover, you do not get the instant gratification while shop online. This is because of you couldn't use or wear the item right away and have to wait! 3 days, 1 week, or possibly several weeks due to failure of arrive at your home on time. This wait can be accompanied by shipping costs, which equates to basically paying to wait for your purchase. Other than that, you can't guarantee whether the owner really deliver the items to you later on and you have to bear a risk to lost in money and get nothing! How terrible is that? Now, are you rather to shop at real stores to achieve your higher satisfaction?

There are some other cons of online shopping in next post! Stay tune and don't hesitate to drop comments if you wish to share something with us.

Pros of Online Shopping - Part 2

As continue of the previous post, online shopping consists of few more advantages. Online shopping provides research capabilities. Online shoppers able to obtain unlimited shopping websites and information at their fingertips through browsing the Internet and search engine. You able to obtain requested information and do comparison between your choices of e-shop in fast and effective way. For example, if you are interested in two e-shops that you have searched, you can compare their products as in their prices and features to make the best purchase decision with low effort. Imagine that you don't need to walk through all the shops in shopping mall to compare the products, but only sit at home with few clicks of mouse, isn't it sounds good? In addition, online shoppers able to search for their favourite categories of products easily due to the online merchants have categorized specifically in website for visitors, instead of lost in the shopping mall and confuse about which shops provide you exactly items you want.

Consumers' reviews plays an important role as references for online shoppers. Online shoppers able to read other consumer's reviews and experiences regarding product or retailer, and make judgement before making purchase decision. It assists online shoppers to think twice and make wise decision. Talking about the shopping mall, there has limited sources for you to refer on before purchasing except the sales person and your shopping partner. But how much you can guarantee that their comments and suggestions are reliable enough? Probably the sales person use to persuade you to purchase their products simply due to they want to hit sales! Your shopping partner probably don't have the experience towards the product, hence their comments are not accurate! In short, their comments are not that reliable and sufficient. There are uncountable consumers from the global to share experiences on millions of products and services online everyday through forum, website, blog, or consumer reviews application, hence I believe that online shoppers more or less would able to obtain credible sources and make wise decision!

Regarding the answer of more diverse choices didn't vote by any respondents, I think most of them haven fully explore how amazing was the trend of online shopping. Online shopping provides you various choices of product to achieve your maximum satisfaction. This may due to the reason of online merchants choose their products from many different inventory, shopkeeper, distributor and manufacturer. Besides that, most of the e-shops are not only confined to local shoppers, but global. Hence, wide variety of products are provided to satisfy different kind of online shoppers. Online shoppers obtain the enjoyment of wide variety of their favourite products through this beneficial advantage.

Hope you guys satisfy and enjoy your online shopping experience too! See you in next post.
