Some of the points on the advantages of online shopping below:
Delay in delivery. Sometimes buyers have to face an unexpected delay in the delivery of the booked item. Booking an order hardly takes five minutes, but its delivery sometimes takes a delay of 5-10 days. While, if we shop the things offline from the store, we can get our product instantly.
No support for local retailers.If everyone starts shopping online, the business of local stores will come to a stop. As a result, all local stores will get closed. In some places, people have faced the negative impact of e-commerce as it has taken away jobs and spoiled the local economies.
Returns can be complicated.Some of the processes of return or refund are easier, but many sellers make it complicated for the buyer. There can be multiple forms such as labeling, shipping, packaging, tracking required to be filled properly, which is sometimes irritating for a person, and as a result, people avoid it.
Can't Always Talk to Someone Immediately. If you have a question about what you're about to order, or what you just ordered, you can't just walk up to an employee. You might instead have to wait a full day or longer to get your question answered. This situation is improving, however, as many sites have added an instant chat service or automated bot-answering screen to address concerns and answer questions on the spot.
Shipping Costs. Depending on what you buy, you could spend the same amount on just shipping costs, or sometimes even more. In-store shopping has no need to charge extra for shipping. Plus, depending on where you live, you might pay a bit more due to special taxes for online shopping.
Product quality. Since you cannot go to the store directly and check the quality of the goods, you will only know all the information and quality of the product through pictures, videos and descriptions of the product shop owner offers.
Tired of shopping. If you are someone who has time, Shopping can be a time to relieve stress. However, for those who lack time, going to the store to shop is a pain when they only have a little time to buy a few items. Do you ever feel bothered by having an employee accompany you when entering a certain store. Not to mention that after buying, you also have to bring a bunch of things home.
Can’t touch or try products. Shopping online means you can’t feel or try on items before buying, which can lead to disappointment if the product doesn’t meet expectations.
Risk of online scams.There’s also the potential danger of falling prey to online scams, as not all e-commerce sites are trustworthy.
