Is online shopping easier? In short, the answer is YES! Especially for Black Friday and other shopping holidays. No lines at the cash register, you’re not limited to buy what is at the store, save time because you don’t have to go to the store and also save gasoline. You can also stack savings when shopping online. Savvy shoppers save extra money by using a shopping portals like asianskyshops.com, or honey. which give you cash back when you shop online through their shopping malls, and there are also promo codes that you can use when shopping online as well. These are easy to find online, just do a search for promo codes and the store you are shopping at. If the store has a rewards program, you get rewarded as well.
It does have its downside though. Sometimes the online price is higher than the store price, and price match is not always granted. Quite often there is a minimum shipping charge, so you either add more to your cart or pay whatever the shipping fee is. You don’t get to see or try on what you are buying. If you have to return something because it doesn’t fit or whatever other reason, quite often you have to pay for the shipping fee to return the item.
Personally, shopping online is easier for me, however, retailers have to fit MY rules - Free shipping, free returns. If this is not offered, I don’t buy it, unless they have a physical store in my town that offers free ship to store or free returns to store, There is always some type of shopping event or holiday, and chances are, there is free shipping offered. I use whatever shopping portal has the highest cash back %. I also use a credit card that offers price protection, so if there is a lower price than what I pay, I get the difference back. During holiday shopping events there are sales and promos, so that’s when I generally shop.
