TELL ME WHY AND WHY NOT OK

YES, for the following reasons:
1. Cheaper prices, usually.
2. No gas bills from driving all over town.
3. You can comparison shop at 3:00am in your PJ's if you want.
4. A lot of time you can get free shipping.
5. No tax about 90% of the time.
6. If you're shopping for a gift, you can have it sent to the gift recipient, thus eliminating the hassle and cost of packaging and shipping it yourself.
7. No pesky salespeople trying to pressure you into buying it "NOW, NOW, THIS VERY SECOND!"

I shop online all the time. I hate crowds and messed up racks. You also have a lot more choices online and size options, for the same stores and brands that are out in the town or mall. I got used to figuring out what size works for me from my diferent brands. Also, of course, there are online sites that are amazing that don't have stores, like Bluefly. However, there's always the risk that it does not fit you well or look exactly the way it was on the computer, and then you have to do the dreaded finding a box and going to the post office to return. There, you weigh the pros and cons.

It's okay and fun/easy if you know what you are looking for. Just like catalogue shopping, if it doesn't fit or look like the picture, you have to pay for refunds. Also, if you are buying on impulse, alot of times, when it arrives at your house, you don't really like it/want it/need it. If you can get the same thing out or at the mall, I would suggest going and trying it on and buying it there. I would say I return about 50% of the clothes/shoes I buy online. As far as makeup (sephora.com) or perfume or things like that, that's fine if you buy from a reputable place. Quite often I can't get to SEphora because it is too far from my house, so essentially I can go online and shop there without leaving the house (and spending time/money on gas) and get what I need. Hope that helps. Oh, also, if you do shop online, they typically ask for an email address. I have a dummy one set up on yahoo called junk@yahoo.com that I use when I don't want to get spammed by everyone in the world. THat's the address I put in when asked when I am ordering on line.

There are some purchases that can be easily made on line. Things that deal with doctor's care or any medical need, will be done in person with the doctor's okay giving me confirmation to do it. Otherwise, I will mess up trying to save money this way. Shoes are pretty difficult to buy online because sizes vary a bit too much. That would be purchased by me in person. Other than that, I would not mind buying clothing from places like www.newport-news.com. They are a part of the Spiegel people here in Chicago, Illinois. The Newport-News website is actually in Newport-News, Virginia. I have been very satisfied with the quality of my purchases made from them. Otherwise, I have not found any place online that I am comfortable with spending my money, as I am with Newport-News. If I find any other places that are worthwhile, I will keep your identifying information and send it to you. Remember this, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31. Peace and God Bless.

I prefer shopping cos u get to see it well and try it on to see if it fits or not. On the other hand shopping online is good for people who don't have time to go shopping and you can shop online anytime you want. In my opinion, Shopping in person is better.

You should if you are comfortable with it. If you are confident that you know the correct sizes then go for it! I prefer shopping in stores because you can find all of their products And online they are limited! So just do what you feel is right

I always shop online but the only thing is sometimes paying up to $25 for shipping. Secondly, you are taking a risk if it doesn't fit.

yes it's cheaper. But i would'nt advise shopping online for clothes,sneakers etc. I'd rather go to a mall to make sure they fit.
