Vivian - Pros and cons

Internet shopping has many advantages. Firstly, what is more convenient than buying what you need without leaving home? After all, when you buy a product in the store, you’ll have to take it home, light or heavy, with you by car or bus, because most shops don’t have delivery service. Besides you save money with the delivery service, you can also save the freight rate, since many sites offer free shipping. Secondly, there is a great deal of comfort to do their shopping on the net, since you won’t face queues and you’ll buy what you want at any time of day, without having to worry about holidays. Finally, there are hundreds of shopping sites with different products, you can search all sites, compare prices and you can still choose the best deal in a click.

However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. Firstly, anyone with a card can shop on the Internet, even if a card is stolen. Secondly, you can’t touch or try the product until you receive your order at home. It is also more difficult to return products purchased online, sometimes impossible to return, while in physical stores it is easier. Finally, you don’t have to wait in queue or spend hours looking for a place to park the car but you have to wait for the freight time that is sometimes slow, especially if you choose the cheaper shipping.

Even with all the disadvantages presented, I prefer to buy online because I'm satisfied with the results of online shopping.
