Online shopping has made our life very convenient,
but here is a list of three things I wouldn’t buy online.
Amazon and some other websites offer
grocery shopping but I wouldn’t buy online groceries,
specifically produce. One of my friends
worked as a personal shopper for an online grocery store. They had to follow the policy of picking up
the items that are about to expire soon instead of a late expiration date. For example, if you place an online order of meat
and bread, they would pick up the ones that would be expiring in 2-3 days vs
the ones expiring in 8-10 days. This
wouldn’t happen to me if I were shopping in a real grocery store. I would always pick my grocery items with latest
vs the earliest expiration date.
You live and you learn. That’s what comes to my mind when I think
about online shopping for clothes. You
cannot try out the clothes for size or feel the material that suits you. I once bought a shirt online that looked
great but caused an allergic reaction. I
got a horrible rash on my skin after wearing that shirt. The online store only specified it as blended
material shirt but not how much. That shirt had more polyester and synthetics
than cotton. Another time I changed size
more than once, either due to being a little too big or too small. I have not shopped for my clothes online
since then.
I would not buy a car online. You need to test drive it before investing
huge money in your car. I recently
bought a car from a dealership and was able to get it two thousand dollars cheaper
than their online listed price. You
cannot negotiate with a website.
