are you shopping online or in store

[MichelleHW101]

I generally do in store because even with electronics I like to see what I am purchasing.  I know they show pictures of the item and even demo videos of some but nothing beats actually seeing it.  The problem I ran into this year is what I wanted for some family members wasn't in the store.  So I had to purchase it on-line.  My problem isn't so much shopping on-line its really the cost of shipping.  All my on-line purchases had to be two-day shipping to make sure they came in time for Christmas.  I usually do my Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving so I don't have to but those items I was sure I could get in store, turned out I couldn't.  So I would say 90percent was in store and about 10 was on-line.  And the on-line cost more because some stores charge for shipping AND tax.  I hate that.

One of the big reasons why I have Amazon Prime where 2 day shipping is free.

I did almost all my shopping on line

I do both online and in store shopping.
I too like Amazon Prime for the 2 day free shipping.
I also appreciate earning cashback by shopping online.

Mostly online and if I am out I will do a little in the stores. I get better deals online and also use ebates.com to get cash back.

I like to buy stuff online since it is kind of like sending yourself a present. Then I wait a few days and might even forget about the things I bought until they arrive at my door.

Online all the way! Never liked going to the store, it's crowded and I most likely will just go into a hundred shops and buy max 1 thing. When I go online I can compare prices, and find my size in seconds

I have done both this year in my Christmas shopping - which is how I usually do it. I enjoy doing a lot of my shopping online, but since most of my online shopping is done on Amazon and my wife and I share the same Amazon account, I sometimes need to do her shopping in person to keep her from accidentally seeing what she is getting from me! It's not hard to see prior ordered items, even if you aren't intentionally snooping.

This past weekend I did online because things were so cheap. I like buying online.

I usually like to actually see the product in store and have a good look at the packaging etc before I buy, but this year I have purchased more items on-online than ever before. When you buy numerous items you don't feel so ripped off with shipping costs (especially through Amazon) and the return policies these days are very good. It bothers me somewhat that you can never guarantee which day delivery is going to be. I miss so many parcels because I am out shopping, ironically!

[jfergusonflorida]

Neither, don't need to get anything

[lhz123]

I shop online the shoes and bags. In store all the small gifts for Christmas.

[dbsaus1]

90% online. I bought a few things (like stocking stuffers )in stores that I could get in and out. I still started early to make sure I would get everything I wanted.

I'm doing a little bit of both. I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both.

I am shopping mainly in stores but have ordered some for my family  members online
