Online vs High Street

[Matt]

So I think a similar thread has been made on this in the past but I'm interested to see what others think.

I hate shopping so much. I think it's boring and can never find stuff that I really really like. Most of it's really expensive and the thought of going to the shops and coming home empty handed is enough to put me off. Online shopping is more convenient but then there's the whole trying it on and not being able to see it until it arrives (which you might not like it anyway and would have to send it back etc etc).

Do you shop more online or physically go to the shops? Which do you prefer?

I like both, I prefer online shops for the sales they do, but physically shopping can make you find a one off for even cheaper too. Online shopping annoys me when they don't have websites that I can properly browse, so I can't look at something online, think I like it then go and try it on physically in the shop.

I find myself doing both but seeing things I like online and then going to look for them in the shop to try them on before I order!! Cause usually there is a lot of things I want that they don't have in store too. Then expensive things I usually add an eBay alert too and wait for them to go up there! I only really buy online from shops that I can return in store or has free returns!

i usually do what @Red; said and search online but then go into store to try it on. if its just t shirts from a shop i've bought from before then ill sometimes just buy them online as im more confident it'll fit me etc. trousers and coats etc though ill always try on in store before buying

I like shopping but I prefer online for games and computer stuff as it's normally a bit cheaper. I never buy shoes online though, I always buy them in a shop so I know they fit perfect.

i always end up going shopping, coming home with nothing then buying stuff online. in saying that, I did find a lot of stuff last time I went shopping!! I prefer to go out and try them on but there always seems to be better stuff online.

I tend to buy a lot of my stuff online, like stuff for the computer and games, but sometimes I check the shops for deals too. Clothes I generally buy from the shops, unless theres a deal online.

Always shop online these days. Unless shopping for expensive clothing, as I can't be bothered with the hassle of guessing my size.. easier to just go into the store and try things on, other than that, I go all my xmas/birthday etc.. shopping online because I'm far too lazy.

I love shopping in stores when I'm with my sister, if she's not around then I'll just buy stuff online for next day delivery and if I don't like it I just send it back.

Certain things are so much better bought in store. Suits and shoes being two examples. I buy most stuff online though.
