Readers response: How do you feel about online shopping compared to traditional in-store shopping?
When it comes to shopping for things we want and need, many people have a preference over whether they shop in a physical store or online.
We asked our readers which they prefer when shopping for food, clothes or anything else their hearts desire, and the response was overwhelming. Here's what they said.
Ellen Polsen - Why would one buy online? I like to feel and see the things I purchase, particularly garments, as fabrics today are mostly rubbish.
Jennie Craven - I do a little of each. But usually use stores that I know or brands where the sizing is correct for me. I always use a payment system that I understand.
Gail Ladds - I love online shopping! I often forget that I’ve bought something then get a nice surprise when it arrives lol.
Debra Coats - Online is okay when you cant go to the store. I did online shopping for about 8 months after open heart surgery but when i was given the all clear to shop and drive, I was in my element as its a moment of getting out of the house and seeing others around me.
Karen Peardon - I have done some online shopping (mainly craft supplies) only because I have been very ill for months but I love in-store shopping more. Retail therapy!!
Christine Whyte - Have not and will not ever do it, very old school and too wary of the dangers out there, besides I like getting out and choosing for myself.
Helga Bonello - I like to see feel and touch products before I buy. Online scammers are a worry, besides we need a reason to go out and be sociable.
Olimpia Palumbo - My family does on line shopping and usually end up with the worst fruit and sometimes the wrong items.
